Happy October 1st!
I love October! Not only is it full of spookiness and fun, but October is getting fuller and fuller by the minute!
It contains numerous birthdays, including my very own. Being an October baby, I have always had a strong bond with autumn and Halloween. It is the perfect weather to snuggle inside with tea or cider, read a great book and to be perfectly okay with the fact that winter is approaching. I don’t know why but I have never been a big fan summer. I guess I don’t like the heat, the burns, the constant plans to do something all of the time… fall and winter are my excuse to relax for a few months. I am also very excited to share this same passion with Jordan! Not only Halloween, but the holidays in general will be full of excitement and memories. I cannot wait to start little traditions with our family for them all.

Did you hear that? I have my very own family… just the thought brings so much joy to me and fills my heart with love! Call me corny and cheesy but it is the truth.
And because of this very thought, I have been building this very strong bubble around our little world and get very annoyed when something happens to interrupt our path and plans. I guess it is m motherly instinct kicking in… maybe?

But I must do a little venting with my awwwing.
Today was a shitty day: plain and simple. Jordan has been playing in my ribs ALL day long and they are very sore. So that means I cannot sit comfortably, I have been getting hot flashes, I have zero patience and have been on the verge of crying and screaming all at the same time. With so little time left, it feels like forever.

Vent over… for now.

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I have not personally experienced breast cancer with anyone close to me but I know it effects millions of women a year. I do my part to help donate where ever I can because one day anyone of us could be next.

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
