It all starts in the gut. To feel better, I had to

It all starts in the gut. To feel better, I had to eat better. Without a healthy and happy gut, my body wasn’t healing and my autoimmune and chronic epstein barr virus symptoms were out of control. Curious? Read my last post. Ever since I completely revamped my lifestyle again in February, the symptoms I had for 10 years finally subsided after just a few short weeks of committed changes. I am fully convinced that this is exactly how I need to eat 90% of the time. We now eat plant forward. No, we are not vegetarian or pescatarian. We eat nutrient-dense whole fruits and vegetables with a focus on more plant foods at all meals. When we eat meat or fish it’s wild caught or free range. Always hormone-free and antibiotic-free. Our #memorialstayathome weekend is going to be full of chopping, cooking, sautéing, puréeing, roasting and devouring delicious foods. Covering 2/3’s of our plate in vegetables establishes the balance we need for our bodies to get the right nutrients and antioxidants. 1/3: Puréed garlic cauliflower 1/3: Roasted Brussel sprouts in extra virgin olive oil and sea salt 1/3: Mojo Shrimp sautéed in citrus, garlic and topped with fresh cilantro from a @clean_cuisine recipe This weekend I’m joining @thelittle_bigspoon and @love.yourfellowfoodie for their Memorial Day weekend foodie share. If you’re ready to reset your gut and take charge of how you feel by using a plant forward diet, you should definitely join us on June 1st for an 8 Week Clean Eating Challenge. Want to learn more?

Last summer my autoimmune symptoms were uncontroll

Last summer my autoimmune symptoms were uncontrollable. Sure, I looked healthy spending time with family at the Sea Isle beach in NJ, but here’s what I was dealing with. 1️⃣Bloating 🙋🏻‍♀️ and constipation. 2️⃣Acne🧍🏻‍♀️like a teenager. 3️⃣Irregular menstrual 🔴 cycle. 4️⃣Exhausted 😴the moment I woke up. 5️⃣Energy support pills 💊 to stay awake. 6️⃣Random 🤷🏻‍♀️ weight gain. 7️⃣Mood 😍😭😬🤬 swings. 8️⃣Brain 💭 fog. No one really knew what was going on except my husband. He carried almost all of our parenting, meal and errand responsibilities so I could rest and look for ways to heal. I tried everything. Nothing worked. I was trying so hard and I felt broken. Unfixable. This past February everything changed. I was in NY with family while my husband was attending court in NC. Everything about these few days was beyond stressful 😳😭😴 and exhausting and I finally had enough. On the drive back home, I got some advice from my blogging partner at Clean Cuisine, Madison. On that drive home, she talked me through exactly what I needed to start doing and guaranteed that I would feel better, if I could see it through. Within 3 days of going cold turkey and cutting out some of my very favorite food groups, the brain fog lifted. I had my energy back. The acne disappeared and hasn’t returned. My weight dropped and I’m now back in the “garage gym” lifting weights and getting my heart rate up. And it feels so good. Eating clean and removing toxins and getting good rest and reducing stress has literally brought my old self back to life. I have learned how to replace my old cookie recipe with one I love even better. I have learned to incorporate more fruits 🍉 🍎 and vegetables 🍅 🥬 into every day. I have learned how to remove my autoimmune and disease symptoms naturally. No magic pills. No magic shakes. As people have heard my story, they keep asking me to help them too. So, over the past several weeks, Madison and I have been building an 8 Week Clean Eating Challenge to help people just like you to slowly embrace a cleaner and healthier lifestyle. Our Challenge launches June 1st. Are you in?

This delicious, amazing, flavorful and robust stuf

This delicious, amazing, flavorful and robust stuffed mushroom recipe reminded me how much I miss date nights with @glutenfree_dad exploring new local restaurants. How much I miss delicious appetizers made with clean ingredients. So, we made our own. And they were so good that we added them to our weekly menu indefinitely. We paired the stuffed mushrooms with sautéed garlic shrimp and green beans tossed in coconut aminos. Or you can eat them completely on their own. You can find the compete recipe at @clean_cuisine or by going to https://cleancuisine.com/superfood-savory-stuffed-mushroom-recipe/

I get to watch dreams come true. The pure joy and

I get to watch dreams come true. The pure joy and excitement to work alongside women every day to see their hard work pay off, their years of planning come to fruition. Watching a project take shape, the excitement growing, the anticipation of launch day... the successes that follow. I want to encourage you, right where you are: your dreams are possible. Every single one of them. That website you want to launch, the shop you want to open, the blog you want to begin, the agency you want to launch. That dream and hope and vision you have inside of you is just for you. It’s the fire that will push you to pursue your ideas or it’s the fire that will burn out if you choose not to. I am thankful and beyond humbled that every single day, I am chosen to collaborate with some of the greatest women on this earth. These incredible entrepreneurs have vision and drive. They work hard and never give up. If you talk about it, it’s just a dream... but if you schedule it, it’s real. Some of my absolutely favorite clients that will inspire you: @themovementmenu @lemontreepaperco @kathryncwheat @thecoutureagency @inspiralized @busytoddler @clean_cuisine @lauren_greutman @greenchildmag @hailey_rowe @toriavey @diy_candy @stonegableblog @alittletooloud @szofie_brand @betsylife @atastymess @modpodgerocks What have you been daydreaming about? And what are you doing to bring those dreams to life? xoxo, Aimee

What a wild 13 years it’s been. I fondly remembe

What a wild 13 years it’s been. I fondly remember the early childhood years full of games, non-stop playtime, day adventures, craft projects, beach and local pizza outings. Tents made of blankets for napping and reading with a flashlight. Piles of books, buckets of markers, containers of legos. So much hasn’t changed. They are still creative, building forts, consumed by books and love the life we have created. There was a lot of hard days... and weeks mixed in. Days that I felt inadequate, incapable, overwhelmed. Long periods of time that my autoimmune symptoms would rear it’s ugly head and I didn’t think I could continue. We have been through so many long and hard storms... but God saw us through each one with a measure of grace, mercy, justice and love. Pouring hope and joy into our days. Filling them with friends and family that encouraged us and loved us through it all. I am so thankful to be their mama... especially now getting to share parenting with @glutenfree_dad and raise them up in the way they should go, together.
