The true test of an effective workout for me these days is: 1 – Can I complete it in an hour or less? 2 – Does it have on-site child care? 3 – Does it keep me in good enough shape to chase around two monsters? 4 – Can…

Well, we are officially 18 days away from our due date (!!!), and here we are at that familiar stage in pregnancy where we can’t wait to meet our tiny person, but we are also simultaneously terrified to meet said tiny person because of all the work we know is ahead. I figured…

Yep. That picture is pretty much me for the next 3 weeks. Nope. No baby yet. But… there is another huge thing happening soon and in town… The Mother of All Baby Showers (MOABS) is coming to town! And they’re bringing with them a TON of cool products and advice for…
