I used to dread this time of year. I’m so glad I’m not in that space anymore. It CAN be better. I’ve compiled a few Holiday thoughts to share, things that help me during the Holidays. Maybe you’ll find something to inspire your own family towards a BETTER Holiday Season
Read MoreI LOVE A GOOD STRAWBERRY!!!
Strawberries are in season here in Central Florida and I am in heaven. I love taking the boys to pick them fresh, eating them right out of the field. I love seeing them with red juice dripping down their chins and strawberry mud on their fingers. And I REALLY love turning the strawberries into delicious, healthy eats! You will love these Strawberry Shortcakes. The shortcake portion can easily be amended into Blueberry Muffins or cinnamon muffins, too. The recipe makes 3 jumbo muffins or 6 regular muffins. I suggest doubling it! ;-) As an extra bonus, this can be made without a mixer and is easy enough for my four yr old to essentially do alone with just supervision.
Read MoreIn the Not So Fab Five, I confessed that things have been pretty shitty. In reality, my brain had been mostly shitty more so than my actual life. Anyways, when it’s Not So Fab, the best thing to do is to Fake it til You’re Fab. The only way to get somewhere different is to take a step. And so this edition of Becca’s Fab Five is dedicated to taking steps in the right direction til it’s all Fab again.
In this one, I give you my Mac and Cheese recipe, remind you to check out all our info on feet, tell you how we protect from the sun and yet my kids have that amazing "glow" everyone talks about (it's not sunscreen!), talk about the difference between being BROKEN and being Broken Open, and give you the link to the magical sunflower seeds that grow the beauties by my front door. I hope you enjoy!!

Read MoreI LOVE the Human Body with all of its mysteries and intricacies. New products and science are always coming down the pipe and it's hard to know what to read, where to spend your dollars, and when to focus your energy. I thought it would be helpful to show you just FIVE things I'm loving each month. Maybe a recipe, or a book, or an exercise or stretch..... Maybe a product, or a podcast, or a restaurant or venue. I'm giving you ONE THING in each of the areas of our Four Cornerstones or Health, plus a bonus. I hope you'll try them in your life and find a benefit for you!

Read MoreI love chocolate.
My kids love chocolate. I also love foods that my kids eat with reckless abandon. I love them EVEN MORE when I know that they are putting all kinds of good stuff - like good fats and antioxidants- into our bodies.
