This post is coming out about a week later then intended, but the world is a strange place right now as we are all hunkered down during the 2020 corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic. I couldn’t let a year go by without doing this since it’s become somewhat of a tradition (see years 8, 7, 6,…
(This post was sponsored by Motif Medical. All opinions are my own.) Let’s face it – pumping can be a real you-know-what. In fact, I really dread doing it, but the reality is that pumping equals freedom, and for many moms pumping is a necessity. For me it means I can get work done without…
There is no doubt that pregnancy and postpartum are hard on the body, but where I’m really feeling a challenge this 4th time around is with my skin. And I’m actually not talking about stretch marks; I’m talking about my FACE! I just went to see my esthetician this week to ask her what the…
I listened to a podcast a few weeks ago where the host interviewed different fitness influencers and they shared their actual workout schedules.

My little Liam is 5-years-old today. Every year on my kids’ birthdays, I make up for my lack of baby-booking and share my favorite things about them – how many things depends on their age. That means because Liam turns 5 today, I’m limiting myself to 5 of the wonderful things I love about Liam.…
At about 30 weeks into my second pregnancy, I started to feel radiating pain in my left hip and glute, to the point where it was really uncomfortable to walk. Sound familiar? The discomfort never extended beyond my glutes, but it was painful enough for me to seek out exercises and stretches to…
Essential oils have saved me during many aches and pains, and every time I turn to my friend and essential oil advocate, Amy Wiggins. During pregnancy, essential oils can be life-savers (due to more aches and pains), yet they can get tricky, since there are some that aren’t recommended. I asked Amy to set the…
