Five Friday Faves
/
Happy Friday Friends!! These last few weeks have been exhausting at work but I think we are so, so close to being through the worst of it. This week has made me really miss wine if you know what I mean.

My Workout Regimen
/
I just finished workout number 46 of my 80 day program. I’m following the nutrition plan as close as I can and I’ve done all of the work outs. It’s taken me a long time, years actually, to fit workouts into my day as a working mom, but I think I have figured it. I wanted to share my current workout regiment in case you are struggling to fit workouts into your life like I was before. Maybe what is working for me will work for you too!
Read MoreI'm Three!
/
es it is! Today is Macie's 3rd birthday. I think the one thing that surprises me most about parenthood is how fast it all goes. While I am a little sad the baby phase is over, I think three is where it gets really fun. The things they say and do are hilarious and so fun, most of the time. (for example, last week Macie told me I was "really rude" because I
Read MoreGoing All Natural
/
When the new year started, I decided to get back to using more natural products. There wasn't one specific thing that pushed me to this decision, and we do already use a lot of natural products but I wanted to take it one step further. Throughout the last month, I have found some really great products and thought I share some of them in case you are on the hunt as well.

Girls' Bedroom Redo
/
Back in August I talked about my idea to put the girls together and change Macie's bedroom into a playroom. In November, we moved them together on a trial basis. In December, since everything was going well, we purchased bunk beds from Ikea and considered the move permanent! I am sleeping better than I have in the last five years and the girls seem to really enjoy both the bedroom and their playroom more than they ever enjoyed their individual rooms.
Read MoreValentine Book Picks
/
Over the last six months I have been intentionally rotating books for the girls. Instead of them going into a closet full of books to pick something to read, I've been selecting a few books of a similar theme and leaving those in their room to read throughout the month. This was a huge hit with Christmas books so I decided to do the same for Valentine's Day.

This week has been so crazy but so good at the same time. I feel bad taking a week off from posting but I needed the time to organize myself and my thoughts, plus I couldn't get anything out of my head and onto the keys anyways. I have a bunch of random topics swirling in my head so I am going to do a "Lately" and get it all out in one post.
Read MoreHealth Goal: Starting a New Program!
/
After I had Macie, I was itching to workout. This isn't a common feeling for me. I'm not the person that craves the gym and never misses a workout. Once I was cleared by the doctor, I purchased the 21 Day Fix workout program from Beachbody. This seemed like the perfect thing to kickstart my body post baby. I followed the program to a T with my workouts and nutrition, drank Shakeology daily and within three weeks I saw major changes to my body. I was back to pre-baby size.
Read MorePlanting the Creativity Seed
/
Through all of the busyness of the holiday season, I've lost a little bit of my creative focus. My creativity was manifesting itself in other ways, Halloween costumes and Friendsgiving decor, Elf on the Shelf and Christmas cookies. Creativity for me comes in many different forms. I feel fulfilled doing almost anything creative, from photography to baking, painting to lettering.
