I did it you guys, I got out my instant pot out and created a recipe! When I first got this kitchen gadget last winter I was quite intimidated. I’ve only created this Pot Roast Instant Pot recipe for the blog and think I might have used it one other time besides that. Does anyone…

Sweet Potato Banana Bread + The Missing Link to Fat Loss for the Busy Mom
Happy Monday friends! The sun is FINALLY out and it feels oh so good! Just over a year ago I was asked to write an article for a local magazine called 5ive for Women. The article was for one of their summer issues and I wrote about staying fit inspired during the summer. Check out…
Death by Squats
I have officially been cleared to resume all physical activity by my doctor! I am anxious to get back into the gym, but also know that it is going to be a slow long journey back to where I was pre pregnancy. I have been doing diaphragmatic breathing to work on strengthening my inner core…
Baked Chicken with Plum BBQ Sauce
Happy Wednesday! Man, my weeks just fly by and I can’t believe it is already Wednesday and tomorrow will mark halfway through my maternity leave. How depressing. Anyways, lets chat about this recipe because I used a product from one of my ultimate favorite paleo companies, Primal Kitchen. I have talked about this company in…
Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter Bites
I have always been a planner and flying by the seat of my pants isn’t one of my strong suits. I always thought of myself as a pretty proactive planner. I get things done in advanced (for the most part), I pre plan our meals for the week before going to the grocery store, I…
20 Minute EMOM Kettlebell Workout

Happy Wednesday friends! This weather has had me down lately. I was so excited to be on maternity leave during the heart of fall, but we have been having the absolute worst fall weather. It is like Wisconsin decided to skip fall and go straight to winter. My mood and motivation can really depend on…
Pumpkin Autumn Harvest Yogurt Bars
Happiest of Mondays to you! I don’t know what is going on, but Wisconsin decided to skip fall and go straight to winter. It’s quite depressing considering I am home on maternity leave and completely cooped up. I envisioned my maternity leave full of walks, hikes, orchards, and other fun fall activities. But instead, here…
Kettlebell Metcon
Happy Friday! I can’t believe it is Friday already. Being home on maternity leave I didn’t expect my days to go by so quickly. On a happier note, in two more weeks I can start getting back to the gym and into a workout routine again! I am starting to really crave working out. I…
