Made this simple & Fresh Blackberry Yogurt Parfait bowl for my sweet husband today:

Ingredients:
1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
2-3 tsp of honey
1/2 cup of FRESH blackberries
2 tsp of chia seeds
1/4 cup of vanilla almond granola

Plain Greek yogurt drizzled with honey 🫐 Fresh blackberries (bringing back sweet memories of picking them off the vine at my Grandma’s house ☀️, Chia seeds & Crunchy vanilla-almond granola (his fave).

Gentle on the stomach, soothing on the throat, and filled with love. Save this for the next time someone at home needs a little extra care! 🤍

Today, as we remember those we lost 25 years ago, we at Ladybug Nutrition are also reminded of the life and legacy of Pamela Gauthier, whom we lost on September 11, 2023.

Pam is the woman behind the name “Ladybug”, a woman of unwavering faith, remarkable courage, and a heart devoted to serving others. Her life was a testament to love, compassion, and selfless service.

Today, we honor Pam’s memory and the legacy she left behind. We are grateful that her spirit of faith and service continues to live on through Ladybug.

We remember. We honor. We carry her legacy forward.

Excuse me while I’m over here completely overtaken by the beauty of these mountains, singing my little mountain song 🤣🏔️🎶

But in all seriousness, there’s something about being surrounded by giant, timeless mountains that instantly puts life back into perspective. Walking these trails and watching my boys turn into young men right before my eyes is one of the most incredible privileges and a sobering reminder of just how fast time truly flies🥹.

If your week feels a bit rushed or noisy right now, take this as your sign to step outside today. Take a deep breath, go for a walk, and be present with the ones you love.

Looking back on last Saturday, I’m still smiling thinking about the beautiful time I had with the amazing girls of Miriam’s Courage! ❤️

I was so grateful to be invited to participate as an exhibitor and spend time talking all things nutrition with these bright, curious young ladies. One of the biggest questions I received at my booth was all about how to make healthy meals and honestly… I LOVED those conversations! 🙌🏾 It was such a joy talking with these up-and-coming cooks about how food can be both nutritious and delicious. 🍽️

The entire event was filled with so much wisdom, encouragement, and fun from conversations about skincare and finances to powerful, purpose-driven messages. I also had the opportunity to meet so many beautiful new people, and I left feeling incredibly grateful for every conversation and connection. ❤️

And a BIG thank you to our amazing sponsor, Roxberry | Better Soda for Kids, for bringing the cutest soda spread! Loved it!

Last, but not least, a special thank you to Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church for inviting Ladybug Nutrition to be part of the Miriam’s Courage event. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share, connect, and pour into such an incredible group of young ladies. It truly takes a village to pour into the next generation, and I’m so thankful I got to play a small part.
