A “How To” during Quarantine: Develop an Active Lifestyle at Home
So it’s get fit or get fat time – or a bit of both . (The brownies that I baked disappeared in 2 days, 🤷♀️. And my kids were gone for the weekend, so I can’t even blame them!) But despite my increased brownie consumption, my fitness routine hasn’t changed at all over the past 2 weeks. Why not? Well first off, I’m not a gym person. I never have been; the atmosphere is not relaxing, nor is slugging it out on a stationary machine for 22 minutes…. Classes? Well, I used to love yoga, but after having kids, it became too much. Too much time. I’ve realized that heading to…

The Everyday Fitness Routine!
Fitness is part of my daily routine. Not a huge kickass workout, just moving and staying healthy. Because life with kids is constantly changing, so is the way I work out.

Squeeze in a walk!
This year both of my kids are in morning preschool three days a week. It’s amazing. Truly. I feel like I’ve entered a new phase of life! Even though drop off is rather early for us at 8 am (I know, dont hate me, but my kids actually sleep in until 7 am….) it’s well worth the morning rush. And morning rush it is, as every mom knows! Do you ever have an idea hit you and think, wow, I’m a genius?! yeah, me too, so high five fellow genius #momhacks. Now, this may not blow your mind at first, but let it sink in. Go ahead, think of it…
