Moms, Coffee and Chaos

This episode will complete Camellia's story of fighting for her life and navigating the biggest decisions parents could ever make. Lori explains her emotions during those extremely pivotal moments, how they got through and where they are today.

I am happy to report Camellia is doing better each day but still has lots of progress to make and will never lead the care free life most children do but so glad she's still with us. 

Lori briefly explains her typical schedule with Camellia & answers those 3 questions I love to ask all my guests at the end. I hope this story can be a help, encouragement, and eye opener for mommas who know more needs to be done for their child but haven't made that known to the doctors.

This story is close to my heart because I'm talking with one of my best friends Lori Erickson. This past year she had her third child and they new she would be different from the beginning but no one could have prepared them for what the future would hold. This will be a two-part episode so you will have to make sure to check back next week to hear Part 2 but rest assured I love a good happy ending. Check out the show notes on the website to see Lori, her other kiddos and little Camellia!

This week is all about getting healthy and staying healthy during & after pregnancy & while juggling kiddos. Jill is a wife & mom of 3 little ones and has been such an inspiration to me in how she makes her health and fitness a priority even in the chaos of motherhood. She tells us about how she met her husband and their backgrounds and how that plays into their lifestyle now. 

She breaks it down for us when it comes to eating healthy, how to keep it simple, and how to have a healthy relationship with food and enjoy food instead of eating healthy being a punishment or having a bad relationship with food. She explains how all the diets options we have today can hinder more than help us because they aren't sustainable methods of living. She tells us that it's ok to have a snack you enjoy as long as you know where you're at with your macros for the day & have room to eat & enjoy it guilt free.

Ok mommas, prepare yourself and your hearts for this episode. I talk with Carol Gilham about her journey in pregnancy & loss too many times to even imagine but thank goodness God saw her faithfulness through it all and gave her the gift of her sweet, sassy, rainbow baby Kennedy. She tells us about how she was feeling through it all, what kept her going and how she wants to use those difficult times to be a light and help others. I hope you can find encouragement from her story! Please check out the shownotes at www.momscoffeeandchaos.com/shownotes

Ok ladies! This is my first solo episode and I truly hope you find value in it! I have always had a love of budgeting, saving, planning, making all the lists. After getting married and having baby #1 we were doing pretty good financially. We were not rich by any means but were wanting for nothing.

Fast forward to baby #2, things got real tight, real quick! We had big decisions to make about whether or not I would continue to work, how much time I could take for maternity leave based on how much pay we could do without. How to pay for daycare for two kids, a mortgage, car payments, internet, student loans and electricity, and all the things.

So I have created this episode to walk you through our financial overhaul before baby #2 but really this applies to anyone!! Kids or not, 1 kid or 15. If you need help finding extra money or cutting down costs, I hope this will help streamline the process and give you a clear guide on how to make it happen.

Today's episode focuses on Pregnancy and some struggles Beth encountered during her pregnancy, birth & learning how to deal with her sons birth defect. I loved hearing how God was working in that situation from the beginning and how Beth recognized that. Hindsight is always 20/20 right? Instead of focusing on the negative, she choSE to recognize that this story could have ended very different and not had a happy ending. Thanks so much for an awesome convo Beth!
