Salty Mommy

Mama, there is power in your title. Own it!

It's that simple.

Now I know what you're thinking..

But the baby keeps me up at night.

I didn't fall asleep until midnight.

I have to work early in the morning, I can't wake up EARLIER.

I just keep pressing snooze, I physically can't get myself out of bed.

Look. The reality is, you have to make the choice. Is it important to you? If it is, then you figure it out.

Do the hard things, because you can.

And if you need tips on ways to become a morning person (and by that I mean, develop a morning routine), drop a ⏰ in the comments below!

Do you feel like you aren't getting much out of mass because tending to your kids is such an ordeal?

Same.

But sometimes we just need to embrace the season we are in, no matter how messy it may look sometimes. In its own chaotic way, it is beautiful, and exactly where God is calling you.

However, that doesn't mean you have to miss out. Here are the readings for this Sunday. Take a minute to your self to read through them, reflect and pray. Give yourself that gift, so when you walk into mass tomorrow, you will feel a little more present, and engaged.

You got this mama!

Matthew 5:13 says we are the salt of the earth. What better calling than motherhood to be the ones to enrich the lives of those around us, and bring out the absolute best in our babies.

Do you read labels?

When you think of reading labels, and reading ingredient lists, do you only think of food?

If you are reading the labels on your food, GREAT! keep it up! I know it can be hard and overwhelming to try and make clean food choices for you and your family.

However, there are so many other products out there that you consume, that you may not even been thinking about. Every product you put on your skin, is absorbed into your body. The skin is the largest organ. Think of how much your skin is exposed to (whether intentionally or unintentionally) every day. Do your body a favor, and show your skin a little more love!

This is part one, in a series looking at ingredients that are harmful to all people, but especially women of childbearing age, and pregnant women.

First up: Phthalates.
Phthalates are found in SO MANY products. They are a known endocrine disruptor, and can wreak havoc on the body. Learn what to look for on labels, and avoid traps like plastic containers, and "fragrances."

Easy swaps to start today:
- Metal water bottles and filtered water
- Choosing products in glass containers vs. plastic
