Hello! Anyone there? My last post was April 2021. And wow. So much has changed. I knew from my first go around that having a baby rocks your world, and for myself personally, I tend to go inward in the post partum period. But going from 1 to 2, took me straight into survival mode. And I’m not very good at opening myself up when I feel… messy. I felt very out of control for a long time. I also felt not in alignment with who I was on this platform. Survival mode meant a lot of processed foods, not taking care of myself, and not living how I wanted to. I needed the space to just be in it and not worry about how it was perceived or trying to create content when I was hanging by a thread. I needed time to be offline and to process outside of this website and social media. And beyond that, the way I viewed health changed drastically at that time. Whatever I could do to make our lives just a little easier, simpler, less exhausting was of hirer importance to me than ingredient lists or nutrition facts.

At the same time- this time has absolutely flown just being in the magic and mess of babies and toddlers. My life has looking like baby kisses, tantrums, sickness, snuggles, food on everything, toys everywhere, exhaustion, and unbelievable joy.

So while I am nowhere close to perfection in my current lifestyle, I definitely feel like I am taking steps in the right direction. I’m feeling more in alignment with myself and in doing so, wanted to come back here to share. 1) because I’ve always loved this community and platform but 2) more importantly, I know that there is actually beauty in the mess and that is actually where I would be the most in service to others.

Over the past (almost!) 2 years, I’ve grown in my approach to health and have even changed my mind about some of my favorite health topics.

I don’t plan on opening up coaching anytime soon. As for now, this is just a blog and Instagram revival. I also will continue to not share much of my children here. It’s a tough call but as this is a public space- I want them to be able to make those calls for themselves as they grow.

I’m excited to be back and I’m looking to sharing here again with you. And if this doesn’t sound up your alley anymore, no worries at all. But if does- thank you for sticking around!

Cheers, AHS
