Swoodle Everything!

Swoodle. What is a swoodle you may ask? So may red lines all in my draft because swoodle is not actually in the dictionary. So intriguing now, isn't it? Well you are in luck because today not only am I going to tell you what a swoodle is, but i am also going to show you TWO recipes you can use swoodles in!

A swoodle is simply a sweet potato noodle made from a vegetable spiralizer. Evidently my computer does not recognize spiralizer either! Click here for the spiralizer I use. And click here for the spiralizer I want to purchase next!


It all started last Fall when sweet potato prices dropped so low we could not resist in buying SIXTY POUNDS OF SWEET POTATOES. Yep. Sixty pounds. My husband and I took turns around the clock chopping and roasting, we even had to go out and invest in a deep freezer! The majority of prep we did was in the form of roasted sweet potatoes, we measured out 100g baggies and froze them for super efficient meal prep. Along with cubing, we also made sweet potato chips with a mandolin, sweet potato hash with a cheese grater, and my favorite, SWOODLES with with spiralizer! Enjoy these photos and breakfast recipes for a Swoodle Casserole and Eggs in a Swoodle!

Becoming a Pre & Postnatal Exercise Specialist: Fit For Birth Q & A

Since I was a young child, I can remember being absolutely obsessed with babies. My friends and I would treat our baby dolls like real babies - feeding them, putting them down for naps, even taking them for walks in their strollers around the block! As I got older that dream of being a mother, while still very prominent, also turned into my career. With my knowledge from  Fit For Birth  (FFB) and my previous education as a Holistic Health Coach, I now run a very successful business catering to none other than pregnant and postpartum moms alike! My education at Fit For Birth completely blew my mind. When I went into the program, I was expecting to learn how to train a women during her pregnancy - what I left with, however, was a very deep understanding of the woman's body during and after pregnancy, and ways to use exercise and movement to correct muscle imbalances and patterns to shift outcomes and prevent injuries. The program I completed was the Pre & Postnatal Correc...

HypnoBirthing: How to Have an Instinctive Birth

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kieran Doucette, HypnoBirthing Instructor, Birth Doula, and owner of Stork to Swaddle. Being very curious about what HypnoBirthing is as well as how to become and instructor, I decided to chat interview style. Here is what we talked about! Q: Kieran, tell me a little about your background and how you got into the world of prenatal care? A: I have my training for being a Birth Doula through DONA and I am a certified HypnoBirthing Instructor through the HypnoBirthing Institute. I got into this world pretty slowly. I noticed I was particularly interested when I had friends and relatives that were pregnant. I really enjoyed listening to their stories but what I realized was that usually, towards the end, they were disappointed with their outcomes from the standpoint of how their labor and delivery went. Healthy babies and healthy moms but maybe they had an intervention during their birth that they didn't want. I was hearing a lot of di...
