Staying active with toddlers can be a fun and rewarding experience that benefits both you and your little one. Here are some engaging activities to keep you both moving and enjoying your time together:

To be honest, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to be a mom in my 20s! It wasn’t until I really took care of myself, gained a clearer vision of what I wanted in life, and then met my husband that I knew I wanted to be a mom. That was when I was 34!

Here are some of my thoughts about being an “over 35 toddler mom” that I hope will inspire and alleviate the fears of anyone in their 30s who doesn’t have kids yet.

When you build consistent habits, you create a foundation for sustainable progress. It’s not about drastic changes but about small, manageable steps that add up over time. This approach helps you avoid burnout and makes it easier to maintain your progress.

I really protect my sleep, and even with two toddlers at home, I still get a solid 7-9 hours each night. The demands of parenting can make it feel like quality sleep is out of reach. However, with some careful planning and deliberate strategies, it is entirely possible.

For over a decade, I’ve made exercise a top priority in my life. But it wasn’t always this way. In my early 20s, I was living the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, playing in a band and making some pretty unhealthy choices. Late nights, junk food, and little to no exercise were the norms for me. I wasn’t focused on my health, and it showed.

I want to share a personal story about how tracking and focusing on protein transformed my own health and fitness journey, especially on a new journey of motherhood and breastfeeding. I hope this can inspire and help all you amazing go-getters out there, especially those postpartum mamas out there!

As a mom and a fitness coach, I know how challenging it can be to feel like yourself again having a baby. The journey was overwhelming, and finding the time and energy to focus on your health seems almost impossible.

My must haves for your labor bag!

Our packing list for Aluna’s top needed things to make our latest LA & Mammoth trip a success!

Traveling with a 16 month old is so different than a 6 month old! We traveled a ton before Aluna turned 1, and it was pretty easy when she wasn’t mobile. Here are some tips that have worked for me on our first trip sans-breastfeeding!

Here is our list of Aluna’s top favorite toys as a 1 year old!

We built a Montessori-inspired bed from scratch with no railings and switched Aluna at only 13 months!

I can’t believe Aluna is 1 year old! We decorated and made everything ourselves or ordered off Etsy, and I wanted to share the things that made it a hit for the kiddos and Aluna!

We’re always on the go, and these are what I always have in our diaper bag!

Aluna is super into books more than anything right now! It’s so fun to see her turn pages and look forward to what is coming next.

We’ve been cloth diapering since Aluna was born, and we are still holding strong 11 months later!

We have been on tons of flights since Aluna was 6 weeks old! Here are some things that have worked for us…

These are some of Aluna’s favorite toys in her first 6 months of life :)

It’s so hard to know where to start for a Registry, so here I share some things that have worked for Aluna and me!
