As Mothers Day is soon approaching it’s naturally the time of year that I reflect on my own mother and all that she has done for me. A powerful woman who had the strength, patience and love to raise seven children! I love her and I am so grateful for her everyday and I hope that I am as good a mother as she was to me.

This Mother’s Day I am super stoked to have partnered with Vitamix to celebrate the gift that keeps giving! I want to share one of Vitamix’s newest blenders the A2300 Family Pack that has adaptors for single serving smoothies/shakes and bowls for quick and easy sauces. Honestly, for me having a Vitamix makes eating healthy easy and delicious! I love being able to through fresh whole ingredients into my blender with the boys and have the finished product be something the whole family enjoys. My mom gifted me my first Vitamix when Shem and I first got married and we have had one ever since. As our family has grown we’ve gone from the Classic E310 Vitamix to the A2300 Family Pack today! Vitamix is offering up to $100 off all new blenders for Mother’s Day, check out the link here.

On this Mother’s Day I thought I would share a really fun soup recipe that I used to make when Shem and I were first married. It is so delicious and with a Vitamix it is so easy!
