23 Weeks🤰🏻 Questions I’ve been getting...

23 Weeks🤰🏻

Questions I’ve been getting...& my answers 😉

🧡 When are you due? Thanksgiving Day
🧡 Do you know what you’re having? A baby 😉
🧡 Are you going to find out? Surprisingly no!
🧡 Are you hoping for a boy? No, we genuinely don’t have a preference and have not/will not “try” for a boy because we have 3 girls
🧡 How are you feeling? Pretty okay all things considered. I feel more aware of when I need to lie down or take it easy.
🧡 How old are you? (Yes, people ask this 😉) I’m 40, I’ll be 41 when the baby is born.
🧡 Can you feel baby move? Aaaaaaaaall the time. This baby is a dancer & stretcher!

Thanks for checking in about the pregnancy, me, & baby 😘 I appreciate your prayers and encouragement!

What motivates people to start businesses? Channel

What motivates people to start businesses? Channels? Recipes? Blogs? 🤔 And what inspires people to choose eating styles? Paleo? Keto? Vegan? Whole 30? 🧐 What motivates people to do the two together and show up for others with ideas for eating? 😉

Maui Mama Jessica Ross is here with us today to share her heart behind her plant-based cooking show Let’s Feed Them Plants on Patreon. 🥳

I personally follow Jessica because her recipes are delicious and years ago I discovered that I can get my family to willingly eat more vegetables when I lean into vegan recipes.

You all know I’m not a vegan…and that I don’t believe there is a one size fits all answer for everyone (ever) including eating styles. Jessica’s goal is not to talk you into becoming a vegan or try to convince you but to go plant-based, but instead wants to be a resource for families who are interested. 💜

Jessica’s Bio: Jessica Ross is the creator of Let's Feed Them Plants™, an online cooking show that she created in her home kitchen on the beautiful island of Maui. The recipes she posts are the same ones that she feeds her family in real life. Her goal is to help make plant-based decisions more convenient, satisfying, and relatable. ⁠Many of Jessica’s recipes are comfort foods that everyone can enjoy whether they're plant-based or not.⁠ They are easily modifiable for those thriving on vegetarian, gluten-free or oil-free lifestyles. ⁠All of her recipes can be viewed, downloaded, and printed for FREE. Each of them comes with a beautiful recipe card that she hopes will hopefully become a permanent part of your meal rotations at home.⁠

Tune in to hear her story and heart behind creating @letsfeedthemplants + a little about @violetandjack 💕

I love that our modern world offers so many resour

I love that our modern world offers so many resources for eating styles…if you want to try keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, raw food, carnivore—any diet—there are recipes, groups, & support out there for you. 💙

What I DON’T like is the “vs.” culture that has creeped into every area of our lives, including how we’re choosing to eat. 😣

This weekend’s podcast episode breaks through that “vs.” messaging as my plant-based creator and friend Jessica Ross of @letsfeedthemplants & @violetandjack sits down with my @westonaprice loving self to discuss our eating choices & journeys, what it’s like to create as moms, and how we can best serve other mamas who are looking for food resources, too. 💕

Are you trying or sticking to an eating style right now? If so, what? How many have you tried to date? Any you’ve thought about trying?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who is feeling ready for get togethers and bbqs and celebrations with friends and family. 🥰 I personally love celebrating and eating together with others as much as possible…but I do know there is sometimes some trepidation when it comes to planning these kinds of events.

Modern pressure tells us we need to host a Pinterst worthy celebration and nothing less. I think in our heart of hearts we know that’s not true, but that doesn’t always make the stress of party or meal prepping any easier. 💙

But Abby Turner of @atabletopaffair is with us today to provide encouragement, help us understand why celebrating in community is so important and worthy of our time, and share ideas from her new book The Living Table. 📖

Abby’s Bio: Abby Turner is a young professional who is single and loving life as a food blogger, speaker, and writer. Born into a large family, she grew up in Central Arkansas, where she learned the importance of community and Biblical hospitality at a young age. After completing undergraduate degrees at Ouachita Baptist University and obtaining her Master's from Baylor, Abby lived in 6 states in 5 years, learning that community is essential to a healthy relationship with Christ. Over the last few years, Abby has spoken at college/universities, churches, companies and has been featured on regional TV shows and podcasts. Abby's passion is to encourage women to stop wasting time waiting for the perfect family, house, or table and to start opening their homes, cooking for friends and building community. You can learn more about Abby and enjoy even more recipes by visiting her website at atabletopaffair.com

Blew my kids’ minds by making the s’mores popcorn recipe from Abby Turner’s book The Living Table 🥳

Abby if @atabletopaffair is on the @elevatingmotherhood podcast this week! Tune in and be encouraged to celebrate, host, & serve from your kitchen! 💕 The results of this conversation have brought joy to my house this week (& encouraged me to finally clean my kitchen table!) 🥰

Get ready for this weekend’s podcast drop! 🙌

Get ready for this weekend’s podcast drop! 🙌 My conversation with Abby Turner of @atabletopaffair was not about eating disorders but about hospitality, a welcoming table, celebrations, and so much more. When she threw this stat out there during out chat, I sat up and paid attention! I have three girls. What and how I interact, present, and talk about food matters.

Abby’s shares ideas for making time around the table with friends and family meaningful—in fact, her insight changed me! After our chat I made it a priority to clean off my kitchen table that had been cluttered for months!

These @elevatingmotherhood podcast episodes can shift, encourage, and change you if you let them! I’ll share when Episode 116 is available this weekend…tune in, like, share, and tell us what YOUR biggest takeaways are! 💜

“Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And non

“Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.”―W.R. Purche

Rocket. Our one of a kind wonder dog. 💙 My pre-husband, pre-kids pal. Mr. Fursonality. Our expressive old man.

Before kids and podcasting I started the laaaaaaaaaaamest blog in my 20s about how having a dog made me wake up and think of something or someone outside myself. Poor, naive, 20 something Lori Beth 🙈

The day I realized how cliche my “awakening” probably seemed was the day I actually woke up and realized there was a whole world of people around me taking care of others & it was me who felt late to the game. My insides burned hot with embarrassment for weeks as I tried to erase my public naïveté 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll never forget that instant transformation into what felt like adulthood. I guess Rocket was the catalyst of that change, it just took some time on my end to figure out what that *real* change was.

Thank God for the love of dogs. He didn’t seem to care that it was taking me forever to wake up, he just kept smiling at me and wagging his tail through it all.

Don’t mind me. I’m at the sentimental stage of my pregnancy. Just pausing to be grateful for the life lessons of a stinky, loyal dog. 💙

Have you ever thought of your life in terms of bei

Have you ever thought of your life in terms of being satisfied with it or not? To be honest, I’m not sure the thought of whether I was “satisfied” in my life and motherhood really ever crossed my heart, but when Alyssa Bethke’s book title came across my desk, I thought about the notion of satisfaction…and it became very clear that while maybe it’s something that wasn’t obvious to me in the past, upon reflection I realized that it is something that probably showed up often in my actions and self-talk.

So we’re going to talk about it today—feeling satisfied in life and motherhood. @alyssajoybethke is going to share what brings her peace and satisfaction. We’re going to tackle obstacles to feeling satisfied and just unpack and encourage all at the same time. I’m really glad you’re here for this conversation. I know we both hope it leaves you feeling inspired and closer to satisfied.

Alyssa’s Bio: Alyssa Bethke is a mother of three children, Kinsley, Kannon, and Lucy, and a dog named Aslan. She and her husband, @jeffersonbethke , live on Maui, and are bloggers, YouTubers, and hosts of The Real-Life podcast. Jeff and Alyssa are the New York Times bestselling authors of Jesus > Religion and It's Not What You Think and Love That Lasts. They are passionate about encouraging and strengthening families through their awesome work at familyteams.com 🌺
