    The thing about homeschooling is that when it comes to spring break there’s college spring break, our local county spring break, and our Bible study spring break. Sooooo we kind of end up sharing them all like one big happy family. Last week we spent a few days walking thousands of steps at Universal Studios,…

    This past Tuesday, February 11, was my birthday. If you couldn’t already tell by the title I turned 16-years-old. Age is just a number, so I don’t feel that different right off the bat, but I’m excited for this coming year. I have goals to achieve and things to do. One question I’ve been asked…

    A while ago, in December, I said that I was back. I may have underestimated the busyness of the new year and getting settled back in. But this time I am for real! I hope to post around once a week, just to share what’s going on in my life. I’m trying to be more…

    With the holidays in full swing, I have been really busy with trying to finish up school for Winter Break, traveling for Christmas, and getting ready for the New Year. That and my active social life. So many get togethers, so little time. But that is no excuse to neglect you—my avid followers! The holiday…

    I know a lot of you might not like the title of this post, but it is really true. I’m not saying you should be all-out grinning through your whole workout, but a certain sense of enjoyment leads to better workouts. I really enjoy the Incline Dumbbell Press, so I’m going to use heavy weights…

    I love food. Which is why by far the hardest part of the fitness life for me is the diet. But sometimes it’s okay to eat some unhealthy stuff, right? Everything in moderation *wink* No, but in all seriousness it’s perfectly fine to have a cheat meal sometimes. Here are my favorite foods that don’t…

    Cardio is a big part of working out. It’s very good for your heart and is a great way to burn calories. But in my opinion … cardio isn’t fun. I mean some people like it, and if you’re one of those people then maybe you should stop reading … (jk, don’t do that, I…

    Well, we can’t believe our blog is a month old today. It’s been fun, but, unfortunately, it’s time to close this chapter. Thank you to all who have read, commented, or reached out to us to say you were inspired. I’m just kidding! My darling boy and I are just getting started and we can’t…

    I’m going to be completely honest. I’m not a morning person and neither is my mom. As a result, my morning routine is questionable. I kind of just roll out of my bed whenever and start. But there is a morning routine in my head that I do every once in a while that I…
