Grocery shopping can be a drag. It’s one of those adult chores we must do but actually doing it can feel so time and energy depleting…

Not only that but with many school districts across the U.S. going back in person this month and it’s no secret that parents everywhere need help to save both time and energy where they can!

Don't you worry. I've got my guest Christine Pittman from COOKtheSTORY.com to help with this.

Christine has mastered the art of her grocery shopping for her own family and is sharing her time and energy-saving hacks in this episode. 

In this episode Christine shares:

• The #1 time-saving hack for grocery shopping. And no, it’s not using a grocery delivery service.
• The app she uses to save herself time and energy each week on grocery shopping. 
• Her tips for getting back on track with prepping school lunches and family dinners.
• How to save time with batch cooking meals. 

If you are ready to get on top of grocery shopping and meal prepping, you've got to check out this full episode.

In this episode, Unyime shares:

• Some of the myths about eating and mealtimes
• Why moms struggle at mealtime
• Tips and strategies to get your kids to eat at mealtime without the struggle
• A new mindset to take on so that you are not stressed out about your kids not eating enough

In health and fitness, you hear a lot about getting your mind and body into shape. But we don't always talk about the spirit or the soul. 

We need all three parts (mind, body, and spirit) to be in alignment so that we can really show up and be awesome in all aspects of our lives.

I've been thinking about how to have more balance in all three parts and I know that there's one part that I am missing out on.  And that is just spending more time reading the Bible as a Christian woman. Plus, having that one on one time so that I can really like deepen my faith. 

I know that this isn't a struggle that is just unique to me. So I brought my friend Brittany on to help with this. 

In this episode, Brittany shares a  statistic that says that 59% of Americans want to read the Bible more. But there's just this block that is preventing a lot of people from doing that. 

So in this episode, Brittany is going to share with us:

• Some of the reasons why women struggle with reading the Bible consistently
• Some strategies or routines that we can do to help with reading the Bible more
• How to create a routine that we can truly enjoy, and actually start to fall back in love with God's word

If you are one of those people that Brittany identified in the 59% group, check out this episode.

ABOUT BRITTANY
Brittany Ann is an author, speaker, and founder of EquippingGodlyWomen.com, a popular Christian-living website dedicated to helping women be “all in” in faith and family. Brittany is the author of "Fall in Love with God's Word: Practical Strategies for Busy Women" and the creator of the 21-Day Bible Reading Challenge, a free challenge to help Christian women make regular Bible reading a priority.
