It's Fall, which means my favorite foods come out and I decide to BAKE! That's rare, so let's run with it. Pumpkin Blender Muffins are the jam.
What goes better with Pumpkin and Bananas? A blender, of course!! Ok, these are Blender Muffins and you HAVE to make them! Literally the EASIEST baking you'll ever do!
Before I share the recipe, I do have to give credit to my friend and hair stylist - Ashley Alhadeff, as she introduced the "blender muffin" game to me! I, of course, in my true fashion, deci…

Tabata Arms & Abs
I love Tabata workouts, as they usually require little to NO equipment, little space and they are quick and effective!
I put this Tabata Arms & Tabata Ab workout together for my group fitness Challengers, as a BONUS workout to our programmed workouts.
WHAT IS TABATA?
It is a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) type of workout, that lasts for 4 minutes (per round). Quite simply, it's 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, repeated for 8 rounds.
So how about we get to the workout, shall we?

I put myself in time out
Yes, I put myself in time out. Sometimes, this Mom of 4, needs a time out. Just like the 4 of my kids need a time out (not the kind in the corner, but the "step away from the situation" kind.
To be honest, the last few days, I've wanted to lose my shit with my kids! It may seem picture perfect through my videos and photos, but truth my told, working from home, raising 2 school aged kids, toddler and crawling (and squawky) baby, is DAMN HARD! I'm not telling you things you don't already know.

Fall is in the air, so it was time to bust out my favorite Fall recipe - Paleo-Friendly Sweet Potato Shepard's Pie.
The good news for any "dieter" - it's Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, Dairy free & Soy free.
With a small amount of prep work (cutting the veggies), I felt it was a pretty effortless meal, for the amount of food you get and the meal you'll have for the next day or so! If you have big family or want a few more meals out of it, DOUBLE the recipe and have at it.

Breastfeeding & Working Out: 3 Misconceptions
Clearly I've been around the block a few times when it comes to having kids and breastfeeding. I gained and lost the baby weight with each, relatively different, with the exception of #2 and #4 (both exclusively Beachbody workout programs - of which I'm the leanest I've never been).
Now, I'm not claiming to be an expert when it comes to all things pregnancy & breastfeeding, BUT, I will say, my personal experience, may have higher credentials than those that are certified, yet never had a child th…

or so long, I thought the Crockpot was JUST for Fall or Winter! OH NO, my friends!! It's a great summer kitchen appliance too!

A Breastfeeding Mom's 3 Day Refresh Results
I'm breastfeeding, exhausted and frustrated with my body. Story of most everyone's life, whether breastfeeding or not, right?
Well, I had taken may clients through the 3 Day Refresh while I was pregnant (WOW - their results were CRAZY, you can see their 3 Day Transformation results here), so I was anxious to try it for myself.
I did a lot of research on the program, before I went into it blindly. Yes, I trust most everything that Beachbody puts out, but I'm one that's always a little leary of …
