Our Sunday Tradition

This is becoming a Sunday tradition....winding down the Sabbath by walking the forest together!!!

Usually the goats all follow us these days!!

We collected leaves🍁🍃

We took more pictures of mushrooms for our project ..

We climbed mossy rocks... Goats included

We ran up and down the trails pretending we were In Indiana Jones 😂😂😂

We thanked God for our beautiful slice of this wonderful planet!!

Sigh.

It's the perfect end to Sunday. And it makes my heart sing!❤

True Friends

Tonight ...I am most grateful... for TRUE friends.

My husband always teases me that I have too many "best friends" and that you can only have one truly BEST friend.

If that's true...I will choose Jesus. ❤
My husbands ok with being 2nd 😂😂

But the truth is .... TRUE FRIENDS are a rare and precious gift.

Those in your life Who love you in all your splendid imperfections... Who see your strengths... and remind you of them when you feel weak. Who keep you humble... Because they know how stupid you were "that one time..." ‪#‎dontgetmestarted‬

Who would be there for you at a moments notice if you needed them.

And are also ...very truly...always there.. In every moment. ....Because they ARE a piece of your heart.

True Friends

Who laugh with you ...
Who cry with you....
Who defend you...
Who are honest with you....

Who ARE part of you....

I'm convinced I have the most amazing friends on earth .

They are ALL truly remarkable human beings ....

....full of goodness and love.

Each one of them has taught me something I couldn't have learned from someone else....

I thank God everyday for them....

And I'm so thankful for the chance I have to be part of their hearts as they are part of mine. ‪#‎luckyluckyme‬

No need to tag you....my friends

You already know who you are!!! ‪#‎truefriendsforever‬

What are YOU most grateful for today??

Missy Motivation: Wake Up and DREAM

DO YOU STRUGGLE TO GET UP EARLY??? Want to know a secret?!! I DO TOO!

Who REALLY wants to get out of bed on a cold fall morning??? How do you do it?!! Have a PURPOSE!!!!

A Dream that you work for everyday that makes your HEART so warm, so happy, so excited...that that INTERNAL FLAME of that dream becomes warmer than your bed!!!

After my 4th baby I was severely depressed. I didn't want to get out of bed. My 1st grader was dragging me out of bed to get her to school everyday. One day I realized.... I HAD to SAVE MYSELF!!! I had to!!! MY FAMILY... My 4 kids...my husband.... They needed me to be stronger. And gosh dangit I wanted to FEEL HAPPY again.

So... I forced myself to get up and workout.

It was hard at first.

But the FIRE of belief in myself GREW!!!

I started to FEEL happier. Stronger.

I learned to be kinder to myself.

I learned that taking care of me was ESSENTIAL NOT SELFISH!!

I FOUND "Missy" again.

Now....3 years later....

I STILL get up early ((most days))

I STILL fight anxiety and Depression

But I know how to FUEL the FIRE

I get up to take care of ME

I get up to COACH so I can help other women find THEIR FIRE.

I get up to help my TEAM of coaches build their dreams... To help people and find financial freedom!

I get up so I can get what I need DONE early....... So I can spend more time with my adventurous children and amazing husband!!

Ask yourself...... What DREAM makes my heart fill with a FIRE so HOT Id wake up and walk through a blizzard everyday for it?!?

DARE to write that dream down. Dare to GO AFTER IT!! And when you DARE to DREAM DAILY?? You'll get your booty out of bed!!!!

Best Zucchini EVER

I ended up growing some mega MONSTER zucchini in my garden this year!!!

I've put it in sauces, soups,

Roasted it, made it into noodles...

But this is by FAR my favorite way to eat it!!!

Grilled!!!  

Seriously.... just slice 

Add some Cajun seasoning....

And....GRILL on the BBQ!!!

Seriously!! I could eat these every day!!

My poor husband is gonna have to fire up the grill every night untill I run out of Zucchini !! 

Having a garden has been the most FUN and DELICIOUS blessing!!!!

End of Summer Shakeology Frozen Yogurt

Oh dear... I'm in frustrating mandated 'rest mode' with this bum shoulder. If not being able to workout hard makes me want to do anything it's EAT!! But, I choose to focus on my nutrition and commit to heal and not be so hard on myself.


I ate GREAT today!! And instead of caving into ice cream on a hot Summer day I made Shakeology Frozen Yogurt instead! This stuff is so good I even caught my toddler red handed with her fingers in it while it was freezing. Try it out for yourself:

Shakeology Frozen Yogurt

2 cups plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1/2 of a ripe banana
1/2 cup chocolate Shakeology

Put it all in a blender and blend until smooth. Put in freezer until soft/frozen and enjoy!!

Try it with a drizzle of peanut butter on top (or with a little whipped cream if you must!).

Kids & Fresh Garden Pesto

My kids are OBSESSED with spaghetti squash... and lucky for them it has taken over our garden!! We also have some tasty cherry tomatoes growing so I whipped up a fresh Cherry Tomato Pesto to put on our baked spaghetti squash and tilapia.

I'm figuring out that my kids get soooo excited to eat things that they GREW themselves and that makes for happy kids and a happy Mama!! #veggiesforthewin

This pesto is so versatile and so EASY to make. Here is the recipe: 

Cherry Tomato Pesto

1 cup baby spinach

1 1/2 cups Fresh Basil

1 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes

2 tbsp Olive oil

2 cloves garlic Blend!!! Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese! You can heat it slowly on low heat till warm or serve it room temperature!!!
