    132. 72 Healthy & Easy Snack Ideas for Kids this Summer: Free Download with Kid-Friendly Food Images May 15, 2023
    Show notes

    We have all been new moms, navigating our ways through. And many of us have probably felt the eyes looking on and unsolicited opinions offered when we simply weren't prepared, needed a hand, or felt completely clueless.

    Hopefully, many of us have also had the fellow mom or female in our life who stepped in - to offer the wipes, entertain a child, or share the encouragement. Because as moms, we are ALL learning as we go and growing in the process.

    And as we learn how to do better, I hope and pray this is a community that helps pay that information, encouragement, and empathy from experiences shared forward. For that truly is the mission of Veggies & Virtue being about the mealtimes, messes, moments, and ministry of motherhood.

    It is also why, in today's episode, I share one of the missions behind my newest free cheat sheet: 72 easy snack ideas for kids this summer! As a new mom, I too have had children demanding a snack in the minutes before a healthy meal was ready. I have found myself with a kid who is hungrier than the snack I packed. I have wondered, "Will this fill them up enough to...."

    You fill in the blank with your example, because I know, we all have been there.

    That is why, with my Level Up Snack Guide, I walk you through some easy examples of how to think about snacks. Not in a healthy/unhealthy way nor elevating some and demonizing others. Simply put, this is to nourish your children just a little bit better by planning snacks and eating opportunities around time spans and appetite levels.

    You can grab the guide here (for free!).

    Then, as you use it and find it helpful, please pay it forward and pass it along to a fellow mom. We ALL can appreciate a good mom hack that makes our lives easier!


    131. Want Validation that Motherhood is Hard Without Feeling Like You Are Stuck in a Rut? May 10, 2023
    Show notes

    Whether you get any flowers, nice gifts, or little to no acknowledgement at all this Mother's Day, I want you to know - I see you. I see the effort you are putting into feeding your family, stocking the fridge, cutting the grapes, and wiping the sticky hands. I know the spills you endure, the seemingly fruitless attempts you take to offer a new food, and the hopes and dreams you have for your child to not face the same struggles with weight, body image, or eating that maybe you did. I see you. And as hard as the mealtimes, messes, moments, and ministry of motherhood can be, I take this episode to remind you that 1) You are doing a great job, and 2) keep going, friend. The generational chains you are breaking are going to bring a breakthrough! SHOWNOTES:

    130. Is it Too Late to Help Your Picky Eater? The Domino Effect and What to Do ASAP May 08, 2023
    Show notes

    It can be so easy for one challenge to precipitate the next, including in feeding our families. As valid as the initial struggle, worry, or issue is/was, if we aren't careful, it can take our families down a whole path we never intended to journey on.

    That's why, in this episode, I share the parallel between being a parent of a picky eater and a situation that came up with my 7-year-old at school. Hopefully, you will see that the courage in a child is actually quite similar to the courage we as parents must come up with to put a stop to the negative trajectory we face in feeding our families and how we can step out and step up to put a stop to the domino effect that is bringing us down.

    129. Looking for a Good Mom Getaway? Plan Your Trip to Zion National Park with This Drag & Drop Itinerary May 03, 2023
    Show notes

    I was so fortunate to get to go on an incredible girl's getaway with my girlfriend, Allison, last weekend. And while we were away in Utah exploring Zion National Park and Bryce National Park, I shared some of the amazing pictures and videos from our girl's trip on Instagram.

    With many of you asking for the details from our trip, I thought I would give you a 20-minute recap of why we planned this, where we went, how we got there, what we did while away from our families for five days (and four nights), and the things that I thought were the highlights. This way, for any of your looking to plan your next girl's or couple's getaway, you have my advice on an INCREDIBLE option complete with a drag and drop itinerary to make your own.

    I am a sucker for combing through every review on everything I book before a trip. So, seeing how it was my girlfriend's year to plan this trip and she blew me away with all the Best of's in Utah, I wanted to share my personal review to save you some time on future planning. I give this girls getaway five stars (but think it would be an amazing couple's getaway as well!).

    SHOWNOTES:

    Here are some of the local companies near Zion referenced in the episode:

    • UnderCanvas - Zion National Park
    • Cliffrose Resort - Zion/Springdale
    • Amazing Adventures - Jared is the owner and was our guide
    • I saved my Zion stories to highlights as well over on Instagram @veggiesandvirtue

    After starting my business online and primarily on Instagram six years ago, I felt led to share what the Lord has been teaching me lately through the growing pains of self-employment, entrepreneurship as a Christian, and juggling the demands of motherhood.

    125. How to Handle a Meal Your Kids Hate: 4 Steps to Overcome Picky Eating with Family Meals Apr 19, 2023
    Show notes

    We all have them - you know, the meals that our husbands and us love that our kids refuse to even touch, taste, or tolerate. It can steal our joy right out of eating it, especially on the busy weeknights when dinnertime is a train moving in two different directions.

    That's why, in this episode, I share a real-life menu and mom-night from my home and family to you and yours.

    I walk you through how I applied these 4 steps to overcome picky eating with my three kids and a menu that has long been their least favorite. And, I shared how these same 4 steps can be used with each and any meal idea you drag and drop an easy weeknight dinner idea into!

    It simply takes perspective for how all the puzzle pieces fit together + practice, practice, practice.

    124. Want your child to try more new foods? Here’s one to pick this month. Apr 17, 2023
    Show notes

    We all want our kids to eat more fruits and vegetables. And yet, how confident are you to walk into the store, pick the given produce, and bring it home to prepare it so your kids can actually reach for it as easily as they do that crinkly bag of crackers?

    Exactly. Majority of us are guilty of that.

    We are motivated and yet, we are too often intimidated.

    That's why, in these fruit and vegetable of the month episodes, I hope you find yourself moving through many of the simple barriers to offering more fruits and vegetables to your family. With this, I know you will begin feeling more confident as the parent in how you feed your kids and more encouraged with what your kids are actually eating!

    In this episode, we will talk about:
