One without shoes. One with his tongue sticking out. It’s our second picture as a family of 6... still working out the kinks 😂 Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family, too ❤️

This might be my favorite new room in the house. Not JUST because of the cool jeep beds (inspired by @ohhappyplay + custom built by @campanawoodworking)... but because I know these walls house two of my favorite little people who will have so many laughs (and fights) and forever bonding memories in here!!! I shared a room (that was wayyyy less cool) with my brother until 2nd grade. We STILL laugh and reminisce about those days. Do your kids share a room??? Tell me below ⬇️

Here I am. 4 months postpartum with twins and at the end of my “baby” chapter. Some days I feel like I should be further. Most days I’m content and proud of everything my body has done for me. I’m still figuring out my routine between raising 4 small humans, stealing bites of half eaten grilled cheese sandwiches, pumping, and spending some time with my hubby. I might not have it all figured out but I have enough for now. But I worked out today so today is a small win ✌🏻

Snip-snip, hooray! ⁣ Nick took one for the team

Snip-snip, hooray!
⁣
Nick took one for the team and got a vasectomy yesterday. Weirdly - I feel so sad this is the end of our baby chapter even with 4 littles. Maybe it’s because of how difficult our baby creating chapter was between infertility and IVF and closing it all out with the twins. I definitely got cold feet yesterday and asked Nick if maybe we should hold off and consider having a 5th 😂😂😂😂 Anyone I grew up with would laugh at that statement seeing that I never really wanted ANY kids!
⁣
I’m glad this has been a safe space to document our infertility troubles and now the end of this chapter. From here on out consider me the weird friend who will hold any and all babies with a big grin (and maybe some silent tears).

Halloween 2020 was out of this world! Halloween is

Halloween 2020 was out of this world! Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays and I’m so glad we got to participate and celebrate safely with the pandemic going on. Also, this is our first family photo since the twins arrived and it’s perfect for the type of year we’ve all had 😂 Bring on November 👽

Gangs all here 🎃 🦇 Nick has been collecting

Gangs all here 🎃 🦇 Nick has been collecting these musical skeletons every year since we moved in and as soon as October 1st hits, he drags them up from storage and puts them on our mantle. The kids go crazy for these guys! Also not pictured is our latest acquisition is our Rick James “Super Freak” singing skeleton 😂😂😂 Halloween is T minus 10 days! Is your family trick or treating this year? What about costumes?

Hi 👋🏻 I did something today. Something that

Hi 👋🏻 I did something today. Something that feels right for RIGHT now. I dropped “personal trainer” from my tag line. I’m still a PT but I’m also a million other things in this season of life - most notably a mom of 4 kiddos (2 of which are 13 week old twins). I’ve never been someone who fits into a perfect box. I’ve had multiple careers (journalist, stylist, personal trainer) and I have enough hobbies that I could probably give some away (photography, working out, traveling, DIY, design, snowboarding and writing).
⁣
I’ve found that over the last few years people reach out to me purely for health and fitness advice. I love that! But I miss all the other connections. I’m so much more than fitness. We all are. And if I’m being honest, I really have a hard time witnessing women fall out of love with their bodies and their lives based on appearance alone. I hate women confessing all their “bad” food choices to me (hello I had my toddlers happy meal for lunch yesterday).
⁣
I’m just a girl with a lot of interests and hobbies trying to live my best life while raising my littles! Fitness has always been a happy place for me and I want to keep inspiring women to love their journeys at all points of their lives whether that’s at the goal line or after pregnancy or somewhere in between. But I also want to share more of the day-to-day moments too because these days I’m lifting more babies than I am weights 👶🏼
⁣
So if you read all of this THANK YOU! I want this page to be a space for women to come and feel happy and empowered through health and fitness PLUS all the other amazing life moments. Do me a favor and say hi below and let me know what you want to see here ❤️❤️

If you’ve been following my stories lately you k

If you’ve been following my stories lately you know that I’m really deep into a handful of DIY projects. The question I keep getting is - how do you take these projects on with 4 kids??? Well honestly - the more of a time crunch I’m in the more I get done. Isn’t that so weird how that works? It’s like I know I have a certain amount of minutes to bang out a project so I hyper speed the process or just break the projects up into little available chunks through the day.
⁣
So what am I up to? I recently recovered my kitchen barstools (a few pictures back, two weeks ago I refinished the media console in this picture (it used to be like a camel wood color with bronze metal legs) and currently I’m refinishing all the cabinets in my breakfast room. The poor guy at Home Depot had to withstand about an hour of questioning (because I seriously know nothing about this stuff)... so far everything is turning out (well besides that one time I didn’t wear shoes while spray painting and my feet stuck to the ground...). So let me be inspiration for you to scratch something off your home to-do list you’ve been wanting to accomplish forever. Happy Saturday!
