I get questions like these often: “Is it safe to drink Shakeology while pregnant?” “Can I drink Shakeology while breastfeeding?” And it’s something that I myself have asked my doctor about during my pregnancy, and now, while nursing. The short answer is: yes, Shakeology is safe to drink while pregnant and breastfeeding! Honestly, best way to give your baby a better chance at being born strong and healthy is by giving yourself the right nutrition. Well, that’s what Shakeology helps to do, right?! So my question is: how it could it not be good for the baby? Misconceptions about Shakeology during pregnancy Misconception #1: "It’s loaded with crap." Because it's labeled as a "shake" a lot of people automatically think it's packed full of weird crap. They think it’s meant to ... read more
McKean, Party of 5! Welcoming Baby Haylie in the World.
As most of you have probably seen, as of 04.05.17 the McKean family has grown! On April 5th Haylie Grace McKean was born, 6lbs 8oz & 18 inches. We cried tears of joy hearing her cry for the first time—we were so in love the moment we saw her! Justin and I are feeling so so blessed by Haylie's presence and this beautiful gift from above. The first night was rough, (at least for me) being awake every hour with visits from the nurses and getting Haylie used to her first night out of the belly. Haylie, on the other hand, slept like a champ! And she was latching great, pooping, peeing, and burping away… the joys of having a baby, right? Ha! But honestly though, we felt so blessed! And then came the first night home. Haylie was up all night. What happened to the little girl that did ... read more
We’re Moving! Next Stop: North Carolina
This is a year of major changes for the McKean Family. First, the arrival of the newest addition to our family, our sweet daughter Haylie, and now this! I’m so excited to announce that in June we’ll onto our next adventure: we’re moving to North Carolina. Two years ago we visited North Carolina and absolutely fell in love. Just dreaming, we said "one day we'd like to move here." We loved the idea of a slower paced country life, moving to a place with 4 seasons, having more land... And most of all, changing it up since we've basically lived in South Florida our whole lives. My husband Justin and I are both originally from Chicago, but we love the northern feel. Where we're headed is only 2 hrs from the coast and 4 hrs to the mountains, it’s beautiful, and combines the best of both ... read more
