Holy expletive Batman! Made my first ever Bulletproof Matcha Latte Friday morning before a very intense strength and cardio class at my gym. It is the only class I’ve ever taken that made me feel as if I were extremely unfit. Sweat pours, heart is pumping, and muscles burning. It was my intention to do myself a little favor… Read more →

Rough start today. Son woke up kind of early and I was so tired from all the craziness from yesterday that I truly wanted to just stay in bed. Of course this is never an option for the mom on the go. So I get up against my own good judgement and soldier on. It helps that on the ride… Read more →
I’ll make this one quick. I plan on tomorrow’s post to be the final of the daily series. I will still continue the challenge for an entire month and will post once a week until the month is up.
