I recently enrolled in a writing and poetry class. Up until this point in my life I have never shared any of my personal writings but I want to share this one because I think that it will resonate with many of the mothers that may visit my site. I encourage you to take the time to explore all of the things that you do, everyday. And acknowledge your self for being you!I am so many things. I am a

This morning, Frankie and I headed out for a little jog. Frankie was in the jogger and I was pushing. I would have much rather have been the one sitting in the cozy Sport Utility Stroller but I couldn't get Frankie to trade positions. Once I got my heart pumping and a little fresh air, I was grateful for the ability to move my body. And then I was able to let go of the temptation to just lie

I have been personal training now for over 10 years. I have trained all kinds of clients and along the way I have had many stay at home moms.
