Nanny to Mommy

I have been on a whole body, including mind and spirit wellness journey for a few years now. It's trial and error learn as I go. But the number one thing I learned and that advice I always go back to is nutrition is the most important aspect. According to the latest data, an estimated 600 million people become ill each year after consuming food contaminated with harmful substances. Properly fueling your body is key and getting more protein into your diet is not only a great way to grow your muscles since muscles burn fat, but also you feel fuller for longer. So here are some of my favorite tips to get more protein into your diet, but in a delicious, satisfying way.

When it comes to my children, my top priority each day is making sure I am doing everything I can to support their health. Cold and flu season may be coming to an end, but with all the fear with this current pandemic, the Little DaVinci® mighty vite multivitamin couldn't have been delivered to our house at a more perfect time.




We typically use a variety of supplements including elderberry for immune support, probiotics for gut health, and a multivitamin to fill in any nutritional gaps, especially B vitamins and vitamin C. This is a lot of different supplements for my children to take first thing in the morning, which is why I love Little DaVinci® mighty vite. This children’s supplement not only combines these three nutritional aspects but does it all in one powder!

Since we have been on our journey to a healthier life, we have been more creative  in the kitchen and trying new products. We have even been enjoying Meatless Mondays! A great way to cut calories and save a little in your grocery budget. Did you know March was National Nutrition Month? Well we're celebrating a little late with plant protein!

As your children grow up, you need to make sure they’re getting the vitamins and minerals they need to develop healthy and strong bodies and minds. Indeed, there’s a wealth of information dedicated to the subject of children’s nutrition. Knowing where and when to get the necessary vitamins for children who need extra minerals is something parents should learn, in order to give their kids the best chance in life as they can.

Monday we started the week off with dance of course where they had a Santa and Peanut actually sat in his lap! Both were scared when we went before. SweetPea said she would have sat in his lap (even though she was scared) if she knew there were candy canes. LOL

 

 

This week has was SweetPea's last week of school before Winter Break and we all went as a family to her Christmas Party on Friday, then we took the kiddos to see The Good Dinosaur which was a GREAT movie and I seriously suggest taking your kiddos to see it.

This week we celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday. You can see her birthday story and more HERE. She was the reason I started this blog, she is my rainbow baby, she is my sweet angel, and it is still so surreal that she is FIVE.

 

 

A pleasant surprise I received this week: A Nutribear! Very exciting to receive my "reward" for losing 20 pounds and I still can't believe I have done it. Starting this journey through this time of the year has been one of the most challenging things I have done.

I started the week out with a stomach bug including fever. Yuck. Hubby was on vacation this week and we had made a schedule of what we wanted to do every day to make his time off work productive. But I ruined it the first day. Thankfully it was just a 24 hour bug. On Tuesday we went to go get our Christmas tree since it was suppose to rain all week.

 

 

Hubby was on vacation, so we cleaned out our room because over the weekend we bought a new bedroom set and mattress. It was WAY over due though. Our old one was an old 70's water bed frame. It even had the mirrors.

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving day if you are a reader from the US. :D I enjoyed mine. We went over to my in-laws like we do every year. We had good food and great conversations. And the little cousins got to play together too. So much fun was had by all for sure.



Major infant brain growth occurs during pregnancy and throughout the first two years of life. During these times, infants and toddlers have the greatest need for Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid and a building block for the brain. Since 85% of brain growth happens within the first three years of a child’s life, it is important to maintain the recommended levels of DHA through the toddler years.
