About my blog

Welcome to my blog—a space where life’s chaos meets a little bit of order, sprinkled with plenty of laughs, lessons, and inspiration. My blogging journey began in 2011 when I documented all the things after our first kiddo was born (hello, oversharer!). Then life got wild, and I hit pause.

Fast forward a few years: I earned my Precision Nutrition Level 1 coaching certificate, ready to share my love of fitness and nutrition with the world. Spoiler alert: life stayed crazy, and blogging took a back seat.

But here I am again—because no matter how busy life gets, the urge to share stories, ideas, and insights never really left. This blog is my outlet for everything that fuels me: the magic of a positive mindset, the power of physical fitness to strengthen not just our bodies but our minds, and my growing journey as a faith-focused Christian.

So, grab a coffee (or whatever keeps you going), stick around, and let’s navigate the beautiful chaos of life together. Sound fun? Let’s go!
