Wow! It will be 17 years in August! ❤️…I feel so happy as I remember this beautiful day, and the beautiful loving husband God gave to me. Our relatonship and marriage is a testimony of God’s redemptive power and grace. This was the same year I found salvation. Through heartache that came from living lives our own way, we were a hopeless case. Chad had followed Christ in his youth, but left his faith. As he was convicted of his mistakes, and knowing God can heal, he sent me a Bible in the mail. I began to read it, go to church, and found the most beautiful Love and Forgiveness, but not only that – forgiveness for him. As I confessed my sins and believed in Jesus as my savior, I found a new Hope and a new Life! I discovered that Jesus is God and that he created me, loves me, and died on the cross for my sins. Without the love of Jesus we would not be together today. I learned that we are all sinners in need of a savior, and I never judge anyone who lives a life in sin, because I was once there! I am hungry to learn more about God, and to teach our children about Him. If you know me, I will never tell you you aren’t good enough if you don’t follow Christianity, because He loves you
unconditionally! My hope is that you find healing in your own life through the Savior’s Love for you, so that you will know you will never walk alone through the trials and pains of this life – and with that, the gift of the promise of Eternal Life.

One of the first verses that changed my life:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him will not perish (go to hell), but have eternal life” John 3:16

Children aren’t a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.” – C.S Lewis

Hannah wanted to make supper from scratch all on her own. She’s a hard working girl! GF Pizza crust and blueberry crumble.

What a blessing to have another cook in the family.😊❤️ Julia made a few different foot/body scrubs. (Coffee coconut oil, lavender oil sugar, lemon honey sugar, cinnamon coconut oil) some have kosher salt but I’ve lost track of her experimental ingredients. 😆 They are amazing on the skin though. I’m looking forward to my foot spa lol!

Julia has found an affinity for the piano with Simply Piano app. as well as Hannah. I am way behind them in my lessons.😄

Ok, we are a bit lacking in field trips and lessons for enrichment like swimming and gym, dance, because of the vaccination and mask restrictions. We didn’t bother to sign up for anything yet this school year. Thankful we are healthy though and that our girls can learn in an environment where they feel safe.

1*make it fun somehow (sticker or stamp lesson completed, or bring favourite teddy along to learn)

2* Let them feel the excitement of learning how God made every subject.

3* Instill wonder in them…exploring with colourful books and educational games.

4* Each child throws a different curve ball in their learning style, so try no pressure, but appreciate how far they’ve come.

Our kids are so bright, it’s truly amazing how they love to learn! Going on 8 years for us, and a few things I’ve learned:

5* Put on beautiful classical instrumental music at school time..it calms and opens up creativity.

7* Try not to recreate school at home…strict schedules work for some but not everyone..allow loose schedule and if days not going well, then just play games and read, or educational videos.

Now to get home education and reading around busy toddler is “interesting” 😅 Can you say juggling? Great decision for anyone keeping their most precious close to teach and to guide….it will be so worth the struggles that may come along. ❤️

Yes!! We need to educate ourselves to save our lives. Don’t just accept pharmeseuticals without also getting to the root issue of your health problems…it might just be your life style and diet that is making you sick! Your attitude and what comes out of your mouth can affect your health negatively too. I don’t know about you, but I’m taking preventative measures to reduce my risk of developing cancer, or any other chronic illness.

The abortion pill is horrifically painful. I took a pill like it when I miscarried my first baby. I was clueless and trusted the medical system. My first ultrasound showed that the baby wasn’t alive, so they needed to induce the uterus to push it out. I was sent home with pain killers…then told my husband to leave the apartment because I didn’t want him to hear my screams of pain. I cried so much..thought I would die. Alone.

Then after researching it online, I found out that it was the same pill they give women who want to terminate (kill) their own living baby!

I was shocked to the core. It was around this same year I discovered that the birth control pill is also labeled by the medical field as an abortifacient, as it alters the hormones in such a way, that if you accidentally become pregnant, the embryo (living human baby) would not stand a chance. How many of us has ever forgot to take a pill or two? I believe I had been pregnant a few times on the pill, as I had recurring dreams of babies that were mine, but when I woke up, I was grieving such loss. That’s when I prayed to Jesus, and then learned about how the birth control pill works. That’s when I told my husband I was going off it, and then I miscarried my first baby that following year.

I could be guilty of having abortions that I never really knew about. Different circumstances – same loss.

Jesus forgives us…we can be led down the wrong path, and make choices we thought were best.

My heart goes out to the 100,000 of babies aborted legally in Canada each year, but also to all the women who have suffered such agony physically and spiritually.

That’s why I March for life!❤️❤️

I get to be your Mom,

I get to gaze into your little eyes, such adoration, such passionate love.

I get to hold you tight, long into the night, as you sleep peacefully like a dove.

I wish I could gather every memory, every moment and lock them in time.

Never to forget those beautiful smiles, and keep them like they’re mine.

Hold onto me little ones, I’m never far away. Rocking you, holding you tight, in my arms – gently we sway.

Reading books together, discovering this world God made. Snuggled up close; I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Don’t rush to grow up, enjoy your youth, and the simple things in life.

Treasure these moments of curiosity, learning, dreaming – but love, this is what matters most.

I get to be your Mom, to love you, guide you, and lead you to Jesus.

His love and faithfulness will be your anchor to weather the storms.

Hold onto Him.

Love, your Mom

Have you ever checked out on some things you enjoyed doing when times got a little rough? For me, I checked out on writing once I got pregnant in January, 2022, and fell into despair. My life had just begun a new challenging path, although a new baby is a blessing, but feeling sick and staying at home raising kids without support was so hard. Pregnancy is hard in itself, but we had just moved our family to a new province in the winter, throughout the Covid lockdowns and I really needed to rely on God to carry me – it was not the best time of my life.

I feel like I lost passion for life somewhat, and ambition to do things I would normally be excited about doing. Have I lost my way? Have I lost my faith? At times I floundered, lacking hope, but I keep going, trying to maintain a sense of purpose, reading the Bible with the girls in the mornings, and keeping some form of balance in our home.

My husband was out of work until March, and he was also depressed and feeling a lack of purpose and motivation. Moving to Quebec was darker in the winter than Alberta was, so that didn’t help us too much, as I really missed the sunny winter days. We were without regular income, and without our regular health products for a time, so that was a disappointment.

Then, when all hope was almost lost, my husband landed a great job working from home, which was good because we only had one vehicle, and I really needed to get out with the children. We had so much debt to recover from, and his job was paid in American currency, so it was more than we had hoped for. Praise God! The darkness was lifting! Then, I contacted my old employer from before I had children, a corporate travel agency, and they gave me a part-time job from home. I was re-certified and trained and could bring in an income to help with expenses, and furnishing our home.

Just when all hope seemed lost – how many times have I been here? Many times… Relationships hurt when these hard times come knocking at your door, with the uncertainty of the future, all the while knowing God’s goodness and faithfulness never fails us. He makes everything beautiful in it’s time, not on my timeline, but he still does it. There can be conflict in the home, that may seem unbearable, but then the fog lifts, and hope, love, and trust is restored. I press into God in my brokenness and He shines through the darkness, and I press on, forgive, leave pain at His feet, and start again.

So here we are, summer is almost finished, and I have survived a long pregnancy! We are ready for the miracle of our little baby girl any week now! I would like my old body back, so I can have the energy, motivation, and strength to be active again.

Who have I become while pregnant? It’s like I’m a different person, but I know I’ll spring back in time. Patience – that and remembering to be greatful, has to be learned in this process. Love that conquers all fear…that is what I need!

Today my intentions are to inspire and encourage anyone who is suffering with poor health like I did, to know there are amazing natural ways to help your body get back into balance, with a detox to achieve better health.

I’m not entirely where I want to be with my health now, but as I look back, I am amazed at the many examples of God’s help for our family ❤️ Come to think of it, I was living in an old farm house at the time I got a huge breakthrough, which had water damage and smelled moldy. I actually loved that home, because we had horses to get to know just next to the house, a huge yard and we’re on a ranch on a hill overlooking the mountains, river and large campground with so many trees…in Alberta that is a luxury! But..we had been developing poor health, and although we already had the knowledge and background about natural health, we didn’t quite have the right products – and were suffering.

Here’s my story:

“My discovery of a gut health company with its total focus on all natural health products began in 2017. It’s fully approved by Health Canada and I’m so privileged to be part of it.😄

Here’s why…

I didn’t have great digestion, struggled with anxiety, tiredness, brain fog, trouble focusing on tasks, bad pms, bloating and occasional depression, painful ovulation and terrible cramping with my cycles. I can remember battling terrible back acne, and facial acne for years without any relief. Basically, I knew we were in an ongoing battle with candida overgrowth, and leaky gut, but settled thinking it was not that bad. We had children with food sensitivities and behavioral issues, so we ate mostly all natural, sugar free, healthy homemade food, and gluten free in different seasons. We even made cultured food which are good for your gut, such as yogurt, sourdough bread, cultured (fermented) veggies….you see where I’m going with this? We were doing all the right things! I felt like I needed help with deciding which probiotics and vitamins were the best.

Things changed for us…..

I’m so thankful I followed my intuition and ordered the products. (pink drink, bowel cleanse, probiotics with enzymes and anti-fungal)

We began to see results within days, weeks, then 3 months a great breakthrough of energy and freedom! 😃 There was finally hope, which I hadn’t felt in soo long! The Pink drink, which balanced blood sugar levels, was a game changer for me. This helped with hormonal issues, which led to more energy and a happier, peaceful Mom. Today I have no signs of any acne whatsoever, no depression, and I’m more calm, more focused, not as stressed, better digestion, and happier with loads of energy. My waist slimmed down as I lost inflammation. Bonus!!🎉

Our kids digestion and behaviors improved as well. (They have multivitamins with probiotics in them now. )This was a season of victory for us, and the chance to be a better Mom and wife. It didn’t take long to experience the detox effects of with increased bowell movements in all of us, not to mention the loss of bloating for me. There was a period of Detox, which was evidence that this was a strong and powerful system. (Google micro biome) Never had I experienced this before, even with other probiotics! I was not willing to go grain free as we did years before…but that was also a way to detox. I felt as if I had aged backwards, Lol! I could run without tiring for the first time that I could ever remember. I felt light, and as if I was a younger version of myself. I had renewed confidence and was astounded at the results. I felt happy! Our kids were also more energetic, more cooperative, and skin eczema cleared up.

Healthy kids are happier kids! Months after beginning these products, I had a surgery to remove one fallopian tube, then I got pregnant for our third child after 7 years of trying!

I believe that the detox products had helped me in that area too.

I’m so greatful for the health science education and support from the community of faith filled Mom’s to spur one another on their journeys to better health.

Getting your gut healthy can strengthen your immune system. We all need that now more than ever, especially if you’ve had shots of any kind.

Yes, you can heal naturally with the right tools and patience, as it’s not an overnight turnaround if you’ve been living a toxic lifestyle…but it works! Never turning back.

Keep fighting the good fight of the faith and maybe try something new in 2022. Maybe this can be your BEST year?

I sure hope so.❤️ Let’s get you started with products that will propel you to your own health breakthrough.
