Fitness, food, motherhood and life at the Quarry
2021 intention: DO. My 2021 intention is a simple one. Do. Do what? Well, anything, everything, something. 2020 was a hell of a year. I’ve never written as much in one year as I did in 2020. But… I thought that was your job? Writing? Well, it is actually. Problem is, I was never given […]
Read MoreThrough Moms Meet, I was given the chance to get some of my parent friends together, and try Sundown’s children’s complete multivitamin gummies. As parents, we always want what’s best for our kids – which means making sure their tiny bodies are getting what they need. When they’re plugging their noses at the green beans […]

“Is this healthy?” It was a text that buzzed in on my phone over the weekend. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked this over the years, and it’s also not the first time I’ve seen what followed just this year alone. Consuming 1200 calories a day, while exercising, to lose weight. ONLY 1200 […]

But, pre-baby, even during my pregnancy, I loved most the programs that I created for myself. Because I can write a mean program. […]
Read MoreLet’s start a new trend here. This is for all of my busy mommas out there who want to get in shape, but just don’t have the time. The mommas who work all day, tend to the household duties, and the kids. The stay at home mommas who don’t have a spare minute between keeping […]
Read MoreI gave myself six full weeks after the baby came to rest and recover. The sole amount of activity I did was walks after two weeks, very light tempo runs after 3 weeks, and yoga around the same time. It was decision I had made long before he came. I was going to enjoy my […]
Read MoreLife never really goes as expected. Yet, we never fail to hope, and in some way, expect that it will. The entire time I was trying to get pregnant, and even when that miracle finally came, I had expected to gain a crap ton of weight. On both sides of my family, history shows a […]
Read MoreI’ve been down with a horrible cold for a few days, and while normally, a head cold wouldn’t keep me from working out (I’d just take it easy instead), being pregnant with a head cold is a different story. So last night, when I started feeling pretty dang good, I almost went to the gym. […]
