In the past, summer has been my season for a busy race schedule. And while I still love a good race, it's a bit more challenging this season with a toddler and a now 3 month old. Regardless, I still love to be active and aim to work up a sweat 5 days a week. My current workout schedule consists of 2-3 days of spinning, 1-2 days of strength training and 1 day a week to actually run (which is usually pushing my three year old for a 5k loop in my neighborhood.) For quite a while, I was crushing Read More
Recipe: Blackberry Bran Muffins with Oxo
Throughout the summer, Bryce has been helping me cook and bake in the kitchen. It's something we enjoy doing together, and it's great to see him learn as he counts, measures and follows directions. We've been making a batch of muffins every week or so, trying new recipes each time. They are perfect to have on hand for quick breakfasts or snacks. This past week, we made an extra special recipe for a wonderful cause with OXO, a brand we love. OXO has a Cookies for Kids' Cancer campaign, where OXO Read More
My Go To Weekday Lunches
Since I'm at home most days of the week, I try to keep staples on hand to keep my lunches simple and nutritious. It's key to helping me make smart choices, especially when some days are busy with errands, playdates, or just plain pregnancy exhaustion :-) I do a weekly shopping trip after planning our menu for the week ahead (which mainly centers around our dinners, and then stock up on breakfast, lunch & snack staples). While I like to switch up our dinner recipes and try out new ones to Read More

All opinions are mine alone. #NatureMadePrenatalDHA #CollectiveBias Being pregnant again has been a totally different ball game for me. It's such an exciting time, but being pregnant with a toddler this time around is a whole different ball game. For one thing, morning sickness has been much worse and has lasted much longer than when I was pregnant with Bryce. And when I was tired the first time around, I could Read More
My Favorite Winter Workouts
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mizuno. The opinions and text are all mine. Every winter when those cold temps hit Chicago, I take my workouts inside. For these winter months, I trade in my neighborhood stroller route and trail runs for indoor workouts. Although I do have a treadmill and use it pretty regularly, I often reach for a variety of workouts so I get in some strength/agility training, which I've found really helps me when it comes time to get back Read More
My Go-To Household Cleaners and Makeup Products
Over the past year or so, I've been really trying to become a product minimalist and focusing on fewer, quality items in all areas of my home- from laundry, to cleaning products to beauty products and beyond. So today I wanted to breakdown the household cleaners and makeup products I'm using these days. I aim to keep my collection of products pretty simple and streamlined because less stuff = more money, more time, and more space. So if you’re looking for a few ideas on what you might be able Read More
WOW Summit: Empowering Moms to Raise Happy and Healthy Families {Giveaway!}
In October, I will be attending my first (yes, first!) blogger conference. I love that it was fairly close, a good size for a first-time conference, and the fact that it was for like-minded mothers that want to raise happy and healthy families. And I'm all about learning how to grow my blog, network with other bloggers and brands and discover new healthy products. Sounds like a couple of well spent days to me! The WOW Summit is a powerful, two-day event, filled with inspiration and education Read More
Battle of the Barre Socks: A Sticky Sock Review
If you've followed my blog for a while now, you know that I am addicted to barre classes. And for those of you that aren't familiar with barre class, studios typically require you to wear socks, preferably sticky or grippy socks. Why? Well, for starters they certainly help you balance. Since you spend a lot of time on your toes, the grippy socks prevent you from slipping and sliding as you squat, tuck, plank and bend. Beyond that, some studios require socks for sanitary reasons. It's just for Read More
