Unicorn Bark!
It’s truly magical. That mom moment when you whip up a healthier snack for your kids and they actually like it. And eat it. Maybe it’s because I used the word unicorn. It seems that if you put the word unicorn in front of anything it creates a lot of hype. Or if you add just enough color and sprinkles. “Moommmmm… I don’t want broccoli for dinner.” “But it’s unicorn broccoli!” “YUUMMMMM!!! Can I have seconds?!” It’s that easy. Last night we whipped up this batch of yumminess. Protein packed, nothing artificial (except for the sprinkles!), and satisfies that sweet tooth- and made for a perfect…

Spring into Summer- 30 Day Health & Fitness Bootcamp
We’ve all been there. We said January 1 would be the start date. Anticipated a perfect beginning of the year with getting into a fitness routine, eating a little better, and would be rocking those results come summer. And then St. Patty’s Day happened, and we drank a few beers. Then Easter happened… Why do those Reese’s eggs have to taste SOOOOOO good. And here we are nearing summer and thinking, CRAP! I have to do something to get back on track! I just found myself feeling that same way. That little extra squish that I didn’t want to have to eliminate this late in the game…

Best Year Yet 6 Week Bootcamp – Starts March 13th
Well. 2017 started out strong. Nutrition was on point. Workout routine was stellar. Then life happened. Real world crept back in and even though I started strong, I’ve been pretty weak as of lately. Easily tempted. Too much 20 and not enough 80… it’s been more like 60/40… and this weekend, 50/50 at best! I just looked at my calendar- our Punta Cana trip is less than 2 months away. So knowing I’m going to be WHOOPING myself into gear – a 6 week bootcamp in prep for the beach is in order- and I want to bring YOU with me. My 6 WEEK BOOTCAMP is going to start…

Turn Your Fitness Your Business: Building A Successful Coaching Business From Home
After my 3rd pregnancy I needed a change. My body wasn’t bouncing as fast as I expected it would, despite having a pretty fit and active pregnancy. I was HAULING 3 kids to & from the gym, one was a tiny baby, and I was putting in an hour of work each time, and being pulled from my workouts to nurse a baby or change a diaper, and just couldn’t get into the groove. On top of that I was going back to nursing school full-time… my life was CHAOS. I was depressed, stressed, unhealthy, eating like garbage, and just didn’t feel good about the frustrated, chaotic, anxious person that…

Roasted Veggies- Whole 30 Approved
One thing about meal prepping is having easy sides to pick and choose from. Those tend to be more time consuming than preparing an actual meal at times. One of my favorite things to prep on a Sunday is a pan of roasted veggies that will carry us through for a couple meals. I do this a couple times each week, and they always turn out amazing. Ingredients: 3 small/medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced 2 large zucchini, sliced and quartered 1-2 heads of broccoli*, rough chopped 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil Himalayan Sea Salt Cracked pepper Various herbs/seasonings (I use oregano, parsley, basil, typically) Directions: Toss veggies/potatoes…

Busy Women Building a Business: Now Hiring Coaches
I was never a person who set out to create some big grandiose plan. I’m simple. I love my family. I love taking care of others (hence my previous life as a bartender, then as a nurse). I was content. I just wanted to get in better shape. And find a balance between the wine and the leftover kids PBJ, handful of goldfish crackers, and my love for tacos. When I started to share a little bit about the struggles of a busy life, workouts, being a momma to 3 littles, and still taking time for myself, I found that I wanted to do something bigger. I started to want…

Butternut Squash Chicken Stew (Crockpot)
Once that cold air hits and I’m in leggings, boots, and a scarf most days, my cooking shifts to stewy-type meals. As a momma, I struggle with things that the kids will eat that are flavorful but don’t compromise our healthy eating too. So I came up with this yummy butternut squash chicken stew and needless to say, everyone was happy. Nothing like a bowl of hot soup on a cold fall evening! Ingredients: 1 Medium Butternut Squash, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes 3 medium chicken breasts, thawed 2 cups organic vegetable (or chicken) broth 1 medium red pepper, diced 3/4 c frozen corn 1 tsp…
