Feb 18 2017 Lunch Inspo! Quick Lunch Ideas for Kids and Moms!
Quick Lunch Ideas inspo
💭🙋🏼
When I talk to women about their food habits and what they need to tweak, quick LUNCH ideas seems to be a toughie. Here’s a great idea!I made this for Sam, my daughter, and it will have to be something I make for me, too! I wrapped avocado in Applegate Roasted Turkey. Then lettuce-cupped it! Theses purple carrots are so sweet and delicious, they also have the perfect crunch when biting into them! Also there are some blueberries, orange and… “Voila”!! These quick lunch ideas are so nice to keep in the back of my mind.
Quick Lunch Ideas: Example 2
Here’s another one that I make a lot. This lunch is very simple as well. A tangerine, organic almonds, organic raspberries, organic cucumber slices, and some sliced up organic chicken breast. I also add the squeezy tube that my kids love, as well as being human with some Kettle Cooked Potato Chips from Trader Joe’s! It is simple, easy for her to eat quickly and is very balanced!
It is so much fun coming up with these balanced lunches that help my kiddo stay healthy. My parents were fairly healthy, but I try to find a balance between ultimate health and still enjoying life! I never get a complaint with these lunches!!
Who gets bored with lunch?? I sure do. The trick for us busy ladies is to eat early enough in the day. If we get hangry because we skipped food early in the day, that’s when an entire bag of tortilla chips gets devoured. #truestory 😒#notpretty
Feel free to share with me any quick lunch ideas you may have!!!! If you ever want to join one of my groups or just know me on more of a personal level follow me on Facebook!! <<<—- Just click the word Facebook and feel free to follow!! I love inspiring others and I love being inspired!

Jan 09 2016 Being a Busy Mom…How do we do it?!
The Busy Mom
Who reading this is a busy mom?!! I don’t think there is such a thing as not being a busy mom. Busy is our middle name. If I’m not doing laundry, cleaning, calling, emailing, texting, picking up toys, helping with homework, cooking, cleaning some more, breaking up a fight, counseling, drinking wine……..you get my point and I’m sure you can relate! Oh I forgot going to the grocery store, paying bills, doing makeup (randomly), driving to school, picking up from school, you name it…..we do it. We don’t know any different but it wears on us and at times we can get lazy….at least I can.
Then, while you’re doing all the things above, cause none of us are a busy mom at all, we get the, “Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mooooooooooooooom!!!!”, about 50 times a day! 😉 We are distracted all the time, interrupted and everything in between. It is not easy being a busy mom, for me of two kiddos. I can’t imagine those of you structuring life with more! I applaud you!
But we have to remember something. Being a busy mom is not an excuse, it’s a reason????? They watch you, they pick up your habits, they need you to help them learn why they eat veggies. None of us are perfect but we can sure try. It may feel like survival mode for a bit but then it becomes easier and easier. See, I catch myself getting impatient. Instead of giving my kids broccoli, I put a gluten-free frozen pizza in the oven because it’s easy. Is there anything wrong with the pizza? No. But in this mindset it could be setting the wrong example for our kiddos. They see me being tired and I do the easy thing. I don’t want them to do the easy thing. I want them to give life their all! Their best! To be excellent.
So let’s encourage each busy mom to push through. Whether we are a “working” mom with a job or a “working” stay-at-home mom with a job ;), we all have to keep pushing one another! We need to remember the little guys and push through for them. Keeping focused on allowing them to see us push through as we press on to be the best busy mom we can be! I love working with women to be their best. A lot come to me having given up one of their most important strengths…their health. Are you someone that is fighting that?! That’s my specialty! Supporting a busy mom that has allowed the “crazy” to creep in a little too far. Trust me….I’ve been there, we all have. Don’t let another day pass you bye!! Come join me and the hundreds of women that are all on the same journey!
And for the record, the loose stomach skin we have from babies actually looks and feels tighter when our body fat percentage goes down!!! Mine fluctuates and I can really tell. It’s crazy! I call it love skin?? we love why we have it and hate it all at the same time. #loveskin #momlife
Go here and tell me about YOU! ——> Join us now! Come join a group of women that look to support each other as we all are a busy mom in our life and we need each other to stay the course!
