What do you mean I can't eat ALL the Christmas cookies for breakfast? 😜Headed to visit family for the holidays with a nutritious and delicious breakfast to go! 🙏🏻 . . .

Taking a rainy day morning trek to get doughnuts with my favorite Bostonian tour guide! 🍩❤️🙏🏻 . . .

....and make some soup! The recently chilly temperatures called for some crock pot love. 🙏🏻 . . . "I nourish my mind and body by fueling it lovingly with fresh, whole foods." #cwlchallenge #soupnight #wintercooking #crockpotlove

Day 7: Say "no." Honestly, this challenge is a biggie for me. So many of us want to take on the world, and it's hard to shut off our brains and just be still. I am thankful for this reminder of the importance of self care. Today, I decided that a cold and rainy Monday called for turning in early with a cozy cup of tea. 🙏🏻 . . . "My self-worth is not determined by how much I can do, or how perfectly I do it. Today I focus only on what matters to me." #cwlchallenge #selfcare @alexismeads

What fun to do some baking for the "cookie walk" at church this weekend. At 3 dollars for a dozen, it was the most delicious 3 bucks spent in a while! 😜🙏🏻 . . . "Having the courage to let my own light shone unconsciously gives others permission to do the same." #cwlchallenge #homebaker #cookiewalk #bakersofig #instagrambakers

Onto day 5! Sometimes you just have to treat yo self. 🙏🏻 . . . "I feel totally, completely beautiful inside and out. I let my inner beauty shine through." #cwlchallenge @alexismeads @christydawn

Comfy cozy day at school!!! I love my job, and if teaching has taught me anything, it would be that it's all about the process. At the end of the day, it's all about doing what's best for your kids by taking bits and pieces of advice and combining it with a heck of a lot of your own wisdom. 🙏🏻 . . . "I allow my inner wisdom to be louder than my inner critic." #cwlchallenge #iteachtoo #iteachfirst #firstgradeteacher #igteachers #teachersrock #teachertalk
