Kylee just finished the Sitting Month! This is a recording of a conversation we had. If you are getting ready to do The Sitting Month, there might be some tips you will appreciate. Way to go Nancy for cooking for Kylee!

I loved the comments from Kylee about how she is able to keep the sitting month sustainable for her. I know she lives in a remote area, where it can be difficult to have access to all the ingredients. It can be trial and error regarding what ingredients are available and what replacements might be the best option. There are some recipes that might need to be skipped altogether because of lack of ingredients. That is okay. It is better to skip something than to stress about certain ingredients. The same goes for food preferences. If there are some recipes that don't fit your taste/texture preferences/ or desire, skip them and move on to the next recipe. The recipe index is great for that. If you are wondering where all the recipes are, they are actually found on the website. https://thesittingmonth.com/ Everyone will apply The Sitting Month in a different way. If you would like to share anything about how you are applying the things you are learning please share. It might be helpful for someone in the group.💛

One way we made the Sitting Month work for us was by inviting my friends and neighbors to help meal prep instead of bring gifts. At my baby shower, we had all the ingredients and friends helped me prep and separate them into freezer meals. This made things much easier for my husband to cook for me postpartum and I loved sharing The Sitting Month with my friends. I unfortunately had to work part-time through my Sitting Month but we made some lifestyle modifications that helped me rest more than I would have otherwise. My husband moved my work desk into our bedroom so I wouldn’t have to climb the stairs to my office. I also decided not to go anywhere for a month and (other than a couple of visits to my parents’ house a few doors down) I stuck to this. It was nice to stay home. My mother helped tremendously with our five older children which made it possible for me to rest. And, my children helped with cleaning and laundry and infant care as well. It was a family postpartum experience-all hands on deck! My oldest daughter helped prep some of the teas.

I have posted more modules with health benefits!🙌 Check them out for motivation :) . It can be easy to think it is not necessary to finish the month when the body starts to feel good, but remember, you feel good because of what you are doing. For those of you in the 28 day process, you got this. I am praying for your nurturers.💛

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wanted to congratulate 2 moms in our community, Kylee and McKelle. You both had your babies within 1 day of each other! You might even be on the same day in The Sitting Month course. I would love to start a conversation of what is going well for both of you and what is hard. It's ok to be honest. I realize you both have different experiences but might be able to encourage one another in the process. If you are open to sharing in our community. I am going to create a new module in the classroom here on Skool. It will be the food health benefits specific to the sitting month course. https://thesittingmonth.com/
