I feel like more than ever, Todd and I are constantly aware of the changing seasons in our family. With our oldest being 12 and entered 7th grade, and our youngest just turning 3, we feel the changing tides. For what felt like FOREVER…we were having and raising babies and toddlers. For 11.5 years I […]
Sharing one of my favorite summer recipes today that serves a crowd! This has been a favorite Rowenhorst family recipe that I received from Todd’s aunt, and I make it multiple times per summer, especially if we’re getting together with friends. It honestly lasts for several days in the fridge and works great with your […]
Sharing today the Five ways Todd and I have implemented rhythms of rest into our lives this past year, and HOW they have helped our family, health, and marriage! Todd and I both own our own businesses and can have tendencies of workaholism, meaning it’s hard for us to turn off our work brains and […]
What position did you give birth in? If you’re like 60-70% of women, you gave birth on your back. Why is this the most common birthing position? It’s the one most preferred by providers. It’s the position they’re most familiar with and have a great visual of what’s going on. 🤰🏼 Why isn’t it the […]

Having 5 kids in 9 years is not easy on a body. My body has carried, nourished, and grown 5 full-term babies. It has stretched and been worn thin. It has given birth vaginally 5 times, been torn, been cut, and also…it has recovered. I’ve recovered from chronic back pain. I’ve recovered full pelvic floor […]
Aren’t s’mores the iconic treat of the summer season? 😋 Sharing today my go-to summer treat to bring to a gathering that will have everyone asking for the recipe, but will also be the easiest thing you make. If you are new around here, I’m all about fueling my body with nutrition that helps me […]
Have you lived under the lie of feeling like you’re “not enough” as a mom? As a young mom who was a striving perfectionist and wanted to be excellent at everything I did, I always fell short of what I thought I should be. It didn’t matter how much or how little I worked, what […]
I was the anxious mom counting down the days until my 6-week postpartum visit so that I could start running again. I was the mom pushing her baby down the road in the new jogging stroller trying to prove to myself that my body WOULD “go back to normal” like I hadn’t just pushed a […]
