You deserve more credit 👏


​​Hi Reader,

​

So much of your work and effort this time of year goes unnoticed, and I want to take a minute to acknowledge everything you’ve been doing to make all the holiday magic possible.

​

For all the extra shopping, planning, baking, wrapping, and card sending. For wanting to bring a smile to your kids’ faces, for being thoughtful about holiday memories you want them to make, and for remembering to move that dang elf.

​

Your families are lucky to have you!​
​

I truly believe that you, and the entire Mama Knows Nutrition community, are the best people around! I am so grateful for the support, camaraderie and joy this community shares all year long. Thank you for being a special part of it all, and for allowing me to spend time with you in this little corner of the internet.

​

I wish you and your family a happy holiday season filled with joy and health. ♥️

Hi Reader, This is the part of December when the wheels totally fall off (for me at least)! We kinda just have to hold on and get through it. For me that means more takeout than usual, more mess around the house, and more screen time for the kids. I’m sharing some soup favorites below because I love eating soup leftovers for lunch, and my kids will usually eat some soup as long as I pair it with grilled cheese or toast. But please know that I will also be hitting up Chick-Fil-A, Chipotle, and...

Don't Miss The Last Bite Sale Graphic

Hi Reader, You may have heard me share this before…but stuffing my own stocking is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I get what I actually want, it takes any guilt out of buying things for myself this time of year, and I love snagging some of my favorite and most-used items when they’re on sale. And the best part is – it can be almost anything on your wishlist that isn’t too large. Air Pods, Apple Watch, Oura Ring? Claw clips and hair ties? Jewelry? Medicube pore pads? Heated gloves?...
