Fab Friday Morning + Brandless Life

Image
Hi, friends! Happy FRIYAY to you! I just wanted to pop in real quick to share a “ Quinn and Mumma ” morning because (selfishly) I want to remember these days, and CNC is a great way to document them. I mean, our little dude is going to be in Kindergarden before we know it, and I know I’ll miss these days a ton! Friday morning started off fabulously with an update from one my past nutrition clients (see below). She did the Jumpstart plan with me awhile back, which is only 4 weeks, but it’s intended to “show you the ropes” with regard to macros. Of course, I’m there for support and accountability, but my goal is to TEACH you how to track macros and then send you on your merry way. She’s been rocking the macros for weeks on her own and checking it with me now and again. Also, please note that this client references August, and it’s now midway through October. Slow and steady LIFESTYLE changes and habits win the game! Quinn and I headed to CrossFit for our usual Friday gym day. Th

The nights have been dipping into the 40s more often than not lately, and I’ve found myself contemplating turning on the heat (I’m holding out until November 1st) and bundling up while walking Murphy first thing in the morning. The shift to colder weather does mean sweater weather , right?! 🙂 The chilly mornings and evenings have got me craving ALLTHINGSFALL, especially pumpkin- and pumpkin pie spice-flavored foods! I’ve already made a few batches of pumpkin spice protein balls , so I figured it was time for something new –  why not whip up some pumpkin granola?  Granola is one of those foods that may seem complicated and slightly intimidating – but wouldn’t you know, this version turned out to be crazy-easy (hence the name)! Just toss your favorite trail mix (seriously, whatever you have on hand) with gluten-free oats, coconut oil, maple syrup, and of course, pumpkin pie spice – and you’ve turned a few pantry staples into a delicious fall-inspired treat! I love this granola for

10 + 26

Good morning! Breakfast yesterday ^^ eggs, buttered toast, pear! So about yesterday: I woke up at 6:21 am, a permutation of 10/26 (my birthday). Throughout the rest of the day I continued to see combinations of 10/26 everywhere! I met my dad’s cousin, who just happened to be passing through Cville, for coffee, and we share a birthday. On the way there, I checked to see if I was on time for our 10:30 meeting and it was exactly 10:26 on the clock. I noticed that gas was $2.62 on the way home. My radio station was set to #61. Later in the day, I listened to a Lively Show podcast (for the first time in ages!) and Jess talked about how aligned numbers played such a big part in her recent life changes, just as they seemed to be for me today. At my chiropractic appointment, we started talking about when the baby might come and when I casually mentioned my birthday was 10/26 my chiropractor said her daughter was turning 16 on the 26th.  When I asked about her birth story, she said her d
