Stocking Our Kitchen: A Wellness Grocery Haul for a Family of 6
I love stocking our fridge and pantry for the week(s) ahead in a way that supports our family's busy lifestyle. From soccer practices, homeschooling, to meal prepping--our days are full--so my goal in my food hauls is to ensure we have quality ingredients to support our active lifestyle. I keep the majority of our food in heavy rotation because it reduces decision fatigue. I simply swap out recipes using the same ingredients. Check out a breakdown of what I shop for consist


3 Tips to Rebuild Fitness Motivation as a Mom
If you've fallen off the bandwagon in terms of your fitness goals as a busy mom, chances are you are not lazy--you may just be overwhelmed, overstimulated, or burned out. I've had the privilege to work with hundreds of moms one on one as a certified trainer and I love when I see the process evolve from "I don't know where to start!" into seeing clients thriving in their fitness routine. So if you are struggling to have motivation right now in your fitness and health as a bus


3 Reminders to Help You Stick To Your Fitness Goals This Week As a Busy Mom
Achieving your fitness goals before you become a mom vs when you are carrying for another life (in my case 4 lives), are two very different feats. Before I had my first child, I was one of the most active people you knew. I'd wake up at 5:00 AM rain, sleet or snow and do my morning jog for cardio (and sanity), then weight train at the gym after work and school for an hour (at least), and dance on stages professionally in between. It was fun! But as a woman who now (gratefully

As a certified trainer for women, I can assure you that transforming your body after pregnancy is no easy feat. There are many days no one was watching that I had to sacrifice, sleep, Netfl


Why I Decided It Was Time to Wean My Fourth Baby โ After 8 Years of Nursing
After breastfeeding my four babies over a total of 8 years, I've finally decided it's time to stop and wean my fourth baby. This decision was not an easy one to come by though. Although I missed out on things like date night without leakage, my autonomy, and freedom that comes with not breastfeeding, I cherish the bond it's provided for my babies and I. I'm feeling a roller coaster of emotions. From sadness at a season ending to excitement to a new one emerging. But that's l


My Teenager is Officially a Pilot! + My #1 Advice as a Homeschooler
As a homeschooling mom, I'm always on the lookout for what my kid's gifts are...where they are naturally gifted, talented, and areas they are passionate in. I feel it is a waste of time to invest tons of energy into an area one desires little in. For instance, could you imagine Beyonce stressing herself out trying to get an 'A' in advanced calculus in college? Probably not. Why? Because she and her parents knew she was meant to be a star . A singer. Not a calculus professor.

Elvis & Monica (Mom + Dad) Making time for marriage when you have a house full of kids isn't easy.

And one thing that's helped us do this? Date night, baby. C
