NBC’s senior medical correspondent Dr. John Torres joins the 3rd Hour of TODAY to talk about how this approach differs from traditional medicine, as we...

So thankful this year for so many things but especially my 2 little turkeys. So in full disclosure I got to hang out with a lot of family and lost my phone for most of thanksgiving and then I got some kind of stomach flu after Black Friday shopping. So I am only posting something a few days later. But hey, that’s life. Let’s enjoy all the little things and be grateful for everything that we have and that’s not seen on the gram. Life is real and we’re living in it fantastically.

Feeling the VIBE with this shirt. So it’s been awhile since we got to go on a date night and we certainly had reason to celebrate (more on that later ) I hope you and your partner take the time for each other, enjoy a dinner without the littles saying that the food is yucky, enjoy light chatter with fun food.

Still have that Halloween candy around… just a little reminder about those “fun sizes”

Now I’m not huge into counting calories, and calories in should not equal calories out BUT just it does all add up. Try to add in some simple movement or enjoy a beautiful fall day walk to work off those Reese’s. Then focus on n your clean eating the rest of the day.

Just be.. be you, be an inspiration, be the shining spot in someone else’s day

Adventure is out there, especially with toddlers. Today we found dinosaur footprints (leaves) and looked for crocodiles. Take time to enjoy the little things and see the world through a 3 year old eyes. You’ll be surprised at what they teach you.

Halloween s a time for fun so this year we set our eyes on the horizon for those black sails to come about.

Repost from trying to trust in all processes and all opportunities and challenges

Just a useful list that I like to remind myself of sometimes. Life, parenting, work it’s all hard and we’re all pretty hard in ourselves so remember to give yourself a little grace. Repost from

Hey don’t you dare throw away those seeds after carving a pumpkin!
Pumpkin seeds are packed with many nutrients and make for a taster snack. They are a great source of protein and unsaturated fats. They are also high in magnesium which will help with blood pressure, bone health, and sleep.
Best way to eat them is to clean the seeds throughly. If you soak them in water most of the pumpkin flesh comes off. Then you can boil them for 2-4 minutes to really clean them, but this is optional. Dry the seeds. Then place on parchment lined trays in a single layer. Cover with light avocado oil and season as desired. Roast at 325 for 10-20 minutes. Turning them over halfway through. The cooking time really depends on how many seeds you have so watch them carefully.

* For a savory snack, try tossing the pumpkin seeds with a few teaspoons of chili powder, curry powder, or herbes de provence, old bay, garlic salt, etc.
* For a sweet-and-salty twist, try a dusting of pumpkin spice blend or cinnamon and sugar.
Enjoy!!!

So last week I’m prepping the meals for the week, the grocery haul and I have out my Whole30 book. The hubs starts flipping through the pages and goes this looks interesting. Let’s do this… and I smile and go sure honey.
