    How to Make a Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Charcuterie Board (That People Will Actually Like)

    October 13, 2019

    As someone who’s been living that gluten-free/dairy-free life for about 3 years now, I’m pretty used to my dietary restrictions. I don’t look at menus and struggle to figure out what to eat anymore, and I don’t have cravings for things I can’t eat. Basically I’m not wishing I could have regular pizza or mac…

⁣
highlightsā˜ŗļøā£
↠ playtime with tripp - he’s soo fun & giggly at this age - it really does just keep getting betteršŸ‘¶šŸ¼
↠ major postpartum anxiety strides - finally feeling comfortable enough to leave tripp with someone other than brandonšŸ™ƒ and getting in some baby-free date nightsšŸ„‚ā£
↠ 80 degree spring days & getting back to my daily lunch-break walks with my girlšŸ¶ā˜€ļøā£
↠ finding time to actually enjoy cooking againšŸ‘©šŸ¼ā€šŸ³ā£
↠ tripp sleeping through the nightšŸŽ‰ā£
↠ stopping breastfeeding & pumping after 8 months (sometimes i miss breastfeeding but my body is officially mine againšŸ™šŸ¼) ⁣
↠ more reading & infrared sauna time⁣
↠ being pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve actually enjoyed returning to work - the routine and the break from being on baby duty 24/7 has actually been great for us ⁣
⁣
lowlightsā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹ā£
↠ major anxiety leading up to returning work⁣
↠ a whole new wave of postpartum hormones after stopping breastfeeding leaving me super irritable & just not feeling like myself (starting therapy tomorrow though!) ⁣
↠ less motivation to postšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļønow that i’m back to work full time, i’ve just wanted to be present & soak in the time with tripp⁣

we are all about simple, highly effective routines we are all about simple, highly effective routines over herešŸ™†šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøand taking @nordicnaturals Omega-3s daily is the best hack for supporting immune health, mood & brain health*šŸ™ŒšŸ¼ā£
⁣
Omega-3s are foundational for health - every cell in the body relies on omega-3 fatty acids to function well and absorb other nutrients.* - but it can be hard to get enough through diet alone, which is why I recommend supplementing with a high quality fish oil like @nordicnaturals šŸ’ŠšŸ ā£

if you’re struggling to find time for fitness wi if you’re struggling to find time for fitness with a new baby, I feel you⁣
⁣
one thing that has really helped me is letting go of the idea that I need a full free hour to get a workout in (bc that rarely happensšŸ˜…)⁣
⁣
instead, I’ve tried to fit in small chunks throughout the day, whenever & wherever, usually on the floor of the nurseryšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøā£
⁣
our morning floor time has been the perfect way for me to sneak in some core work (I love @thesculptsociety @meganroup quickie abs for these) while peanut gets some independent play time (and lots of cuddle breaks🄰) ⁣

TIPS FOR FLYING WITH A BABYāœˆļøšŸ‘¶šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ā£
⁣
Tripp’s been on 4 flights now & here’s what has helped usšŸ™ŒšŸ¼ please share any tips for flying with babies in the comments!šŸ™šŸ¼ā£
⁣
↠ give yourself PLENTY of time at the airport - babies make everything slower & the last thing you want is to feel stressed or rushed⁣
↠ baby wear! I baby wore through security, when changing diapers & boarding the plane - it’s SO much easier to be hands free. I also baby wore on the plane & it made it so much easier for him to nap⁣
↠ invest a good baby carrier - a baby carrier that you like, baby likes, & is easy to use is a lifesaver at the airport (I’m using the @artipoppe )⁣
↠ gate check your stroller - this gives you the option to use your stroller throughout the airport ⁣
↠ check the rest of your bags - I’m a carry-on girlie for life for but it’s just too much to schlep around with a baby - we only carried on Tripp’s suitcase bc I didn’t want to risk losing his stuff ⁣
↠ take advantage of airport lactation rooms - these are great for breastfeeding if your airport has them - if not find an empty gate area & you’ll have plenty of privacy⁣
↠ if you bottle feed, have all your bottle making supplies ready to go - we brought a thermos of hot water through security* as well as pre-portioned formula - this made it so easy to quickly prep a bottle⁣
↠ be prepared for takeoff & landing - the pressure change can hurt their little ears - a pacifier, nursing or a bottle really helps!⁣
↠ pack new toys / favorite toys - we introduced spinner toys for the first time while traveling & he was SO entertained ⁣
↠ try to relax & enjoy it!⁣
⁣
*According to the TSA website: ā€œFormula, breast milk, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (to include puree pouches) are considered medically necessary liquidsā€ & aren’t limited to the 3.4 oz regulations

6 months postpartum & I feel like the postpartum fog is finally lifting - I feel like myself again, my postpartum anxiety has drastically improved, and I’m really able to enjoy every second with my baby🄹⁣
⁣
some things that have helped me….⁣
↠ TIME - honestly it just takes time - to heal physically, to heal emotionally, to balance out hormonally, to adjust to this new life - a lot of it works itself out with time, don’t rush it⁣
↠ giving myself tons of grace⁣
↠ daily walks & as much sunlight & fresh air as possible ⁣
↠ movement - hot yoga & @thesculptsociety have been my fav postpartum ⁣
↠ nutrition: red meat, protein, @nordicnaturals omega-3s & magnesium, prenatals⁣
↠ self-care bedtime routines: epsom salt baths & long skincare routines⁣
↠ getting out of the house often (alone & with the baby)⁣
↠ learning to accept help & trust other people with the baby (this also comes with time)⁣
↠ a supportive partnerā¤ļøā£

5 WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR HEALTH THIS THANKSGIVING🦃⁣
⁣
1ļøāƒ£ START WITH PROTEIN šŸ³ā£
before a marathon day of Thanksgiving food, I always start the day with a big breakfast that is high in protein (I aim for ~30 grams) - this sets you up for optimal blood sugar balance throughout the day⁣
⁣
2ļøāƒ£ SUPPORT YOUR DIGESTIONšŸ½ļøā£
I’m planning to eat ALL the things this Thanksgiving - taking digestive enzymes before a big holiday meal gives your body extra enzymes it needs to help breakdown carbs, protein, fats & even dairy* - I love the NordicĀ® Flora Digestive Enzymes by @nordicnaturals⁣
⁣
3ļøāƒ£ INCORPORATE MOCKTAILS šŸ¹ā£
swapping a couple cocktails for mocktails throughout the day is a great way to cut back on alcohol, while still feeling festive & enjoying the holiday⁣
⁣
4ļøāƒ£ DE-STRESSšŸ§˜šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøā£
the holidays can be inherently stressful - I’ve found that getting in a quick walk or workout does wonders, as well as taking @nordicnaturals Magnesium Complex before bed helps support my mood & keep me relaxed*⁣
⁣
5ļøāƒ£ GET YOUR SLEEP 😓 ⁣
traveling for the holidays can mess up our circadian rhythms, making getting good sleep a challenge. when you need a little extra help falling asleep, @nordicnaturals makes great Zero Sugar Melatonin Gummies for a deep, more restful sleep*⁣
⁣
Nov 22-27th you can shop select @nordicnaturals stress, sleep & gut health products for 25% off with code TURKEY⁣
