Baby Nursery On a Budget

Baby Nursery on a Budget 1.jpg

Is it possible to decorate a baby nursery on a budget?  I tried to be frugal, but it still adds up. And, though I don't have all the answers, I thought I'd share our progress thus far. Gosh, these little humans need a lot of stuff! Crib: Free My best friend, Jenny, was getting rid of her crib just as I told her I was expecting. How about that timing?! I used gel stain to turn it from oak to a chocolate brown. I'm pretty pleased with the result! Bedding: … [Continue reading]

Reebok Clothing Giveaway [CLOSED]

ReebokONE Clothing Giveaway.jpg

This giveaway is closed. A couple weeks ago, I shared with you my obsession over new ReebokONE clothing. I can't tell you how many compliments these Reebok PWR leggings received on instagram (well, I could if I tallied)! Rightfully so. They are comfortable, athletic and eye-catching! And, the Reebok PWR seamless long bra top will be a summer staple for me post-pregnancy. Below is a shot of the back. While black isn't as bright as some of the apparel Reebok has … [Continue reading]

On a Quest for Protein Bars

QuestBar Variety Pack.1.jpg

I'm slightly obsessed with instagram. Who isn't these days? I love scrolling through pictures during downtime, being inspired for the next meal or workout, viewing cute dogs, funny images, stalking virtual friends, etc. And, that's where I first discovered Quest Protein Bars. I kept seeing images of these bars with more flavor options than many brands. Everyone I follow seemed to RAVED about them. High protein, low carb, gluten free...sign me up! Accordingly, I was thrilled to … [Continue reading]

Diamonds and Running Shoes

Saucony Kinvara 4 side

Thank you for all your comments on What I Miss During Pregnancy. I LOVED reading each and every one! Apparently, I have a lot readers that sleep on their stomachs and enjoy a glass of wine! I love diamonds. We lived at the baseball diamond last weekend as Creighton was in town for the TD Ameritrade Classic. It was a beautiful weekend, so my parents and I soaked up some sun and great baseball. I love home weekends, means I get to see Spencer! Friday night had an electric feel … [Continue reading]

What I Miss During Pregnancy

What I Miss Most During Pregnancy.jpg

Being pregnant is a VERY special time. Although I'm trying to stay in the present, I can't help but think fondly of a few things I took for granted pre-pregnancy. 1. Killer workouts I miss these. The ones that put you on your back with your lungs screaming, where the only heartbeat I have to be cautious of is my own. 2. My supplements Ever since I used GenetixHD to get lean, I have enjoyed incorporating it regularly to help me nail workouts and give me that "edge". Supplements … [Continue reading]

Six weeks to go! Maybe... I don't get to decide when I'm having this little girl, do I?  She will meet us when she's good an ready! 34 weeks of pregnancy in the books. Moving into week 35. Here's a shot of me at 25 weeks to compare: How am I feeling? This week, I took advantage of nap time. I taught an early morning boot camp which meant a 4:15 wake up call--that's EARLY for me--for anyone, right?. Some days, I had to give in when my schedule allowed. Otherwise, I still … [Continue reading]

I'm grateful for my role as a FitFluential ambassador which has allowed me to partner with Reebok and share the latest fitness apparel with you. How about this print?! I'm usually a plain-Jane kind of girl, but I'll make an exception with these stellar leggings! I first saw these leggings on the 2nd Fittest Woman on Earth, Julie Foucher, when I … [Continue reading]

Being pregnant, means I need to be prepared when the snack monster strikes! Usually, I try to have some sort of healthy snack with me, typically a protein bar in my purse. I was recently sent the new Balance Bar Dark protein bars to try. Check out these flavors! See a favorite flavor of yours? I have been eating Balance Bars since high school--which is a very long time! The first flavor I tried was the Yogurt Honey Peanut. I'm truly a fan of the 40-30-30 nutrition … [Continue reading]
