Postpartum Health and Fitness Journey: How I Got Back to My Pre-Pregnancy Body Weight and Fitness Level

September 18, 2017 No comments Article

I am quickly learning that there are SO many wonderful things about motherhood.  But let’s be real – it isn’t perfect, there are always challenges, and “new” motherhood is a big adjustment in every way; and I'm only six months in (eek!)! From a health and physical fitness standpoint, I have found that getting to the point where I feel like myself again has been harder than I anticipated.  In my conversations with other (new and experienced) moms, it seems that this is a common (valid) feeling and concern.  Add to that crazy hormones ;-), and it can really impact confidence and body image. With this in mind, I thought I would share my general health and fitness routine which has finally helped me feel like "me" again, including how I got back to my pre-pregnancy body weight and fitness level. There have been many ups, downs, challenges, and things that went south (literally and figuratively, ha ha), and I am opening up about that as well. Read More

It’s A Boy! Colton’s Birth Story

April 26, 2017 4 comments Article

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you already know that we welcomed Colton Robert to our family two months ago!  Obviously it has been a while since I last posted here on "Le Blog." Becoming a new mom has definitely been an adjustment, and it has taken me a while to establish a schedule with my new little guy.  Prior to Colton's arrival, I did a lot of planning and preparation, and I expected all of the "usual" challenges such as sleep deprivation, schedule changes, not being able to just go somewhere on a whim, etc. However, there have been several things I did not see coming...   Read More

Bumpday Life and Style: The Final Weeks

If I have said it once, I will say it again, I have absolutely loved every minute of this pregnancy.  I cannot believe our little one will be here within a matter of days!  It is really surreal to both Brandon and I - in part because we weren't sure that we were ever going to be able to have a family in this way.  We are so incredibly blessed and feel beyond grateful to God for this gift; and we feel thankful to all of you who have supported, encouraged and prayed for us along the way.  We are definitely Read More
