Make Time for YOU Challenge Group starting!

Ok guys! It's a new year, so it's time to make the resolution (or better yet, PROMISE) to start focusing on YOU!! As women, moms, working moms, we tend to put ourselves LAST. Well, NO MORE! Time to think about YOU!.👐

Time to eat healthy, get fit (whether that's losing weight or toning up), and live a healthier lifestyle.
I'm putting together a challenge group - Make Time for YOU Challenge! You don’t need to buy anything from me in order for me to HELP you… this challenge is just something I specifically put together to support, motivate, and reward my customers. But if you don’t own any BeachBodyWorkouts, you will have time to figure out which program you want. We will start January 18th.

There are just 3 requirements! ➡

1)Do a BeachBodyWorkout - You choose which one you want to do! I personally like 21 Day Fix Extreme, PiYo, Masters Hammer & Chisel. ➡

2)Have me as your coach! I am there for you, to answer any questions and offer support whenever you need it! ➡

3)Be ACTIVE in the Facebook group – the more you participate, the more you will get out of it! Help support others and you will get the support you need too.Contact me on {Facebook} @healthymamagettingfit. I will add you to the Secret Facebook Group!

*If you already have a coach, do a challenge with THEM, or you can switch to me if you feel they aren’t a good fit. But I don’t want to take you away from another coach if you’re already working with them.

Brooklynn Turns 4!

Well, my Brooklynn turned 4.

4 years old.

The first thing we ALWAYS do on birthdays is measure!! They love seeing how much they've grown. And honestly, I do too. You can see the HUGE jump Brooklynn made this year.

Then it was birthday breakfast time! Homemade blueberry muffins. She loves muffins.

And of course we needed balloons! What's a birthday without balloons?!

Her cake was a Belle cake. I asked her the night before what kind of cake she wanted....and this is what she said. Luckily, we had a Belle Barbie lying around that I could use - haha.

(Thank you, Autumn!)

Make a wish!

My little firecracker. She is more like me that I care to admit.

She's feisty. She's silly. She's very sensitive. She's very loud. haha She's very stubborn.

And I love her to the moon and back. I love laying with her and cuddling with her. She still sneaks in our bed at night and I can always count on morning cuddles.

Check out Brooklynn's birth story {HERE}

Christmas Day

Christmas Day.

They say there's no greater joy than being a kid on Christmas Day.

I have to disagree. I think it's better to be a parent on Christmas Day and watching your children.

We don't go ballistic on Christmas. I really don't think it's necessary. I don't want our kids to become greedy. But I know it's so fun to open presents.

Hahaha. Brooklynn in her bag to get the last present was cracking me up!

Autumn was SO excited about this Ballerina outfit. I don't know why but she wrote it in her letter to Santa and she said it in her Christmas song at school and whenever anyone asked her what she wanted, a Ballerina outfit was on top of her list. So.... the 23rd, I was scouting around town for one. Thank you, Target!

Brooklynn was having so much fun passing out the presents, almost as much as she was opening them. And sweet Caroline...she couldn't have cared less. haha

She just kept climbing up and down the trunk.

Santa got me a good present!! (If you've been following my Fitness IG account @healthymamagettingfit , you've know how much I love it!)

The girls got a lot of the {Calico Critters} and {Shopkins}. They're really good at making them both work at the same time - haha

A little bit later, the family came over. Christmas "dinner" was at our house this year.

Baby Jack and Caroline

And yes, in Florida, we go swimming on Christmas Day! Our cousins from Ohio were a little perplexed by this tradition.

I actually don't have any pictures from our day with family. Isn't that shocking?! I was so busy hosting. I will get some pictures from my mom and do another post with her pictures.

That night, the girls started putting together the Legos they got for Christmas.... on the new Lego Table that my Dad built them!

That table provides hours and hours of entertainment... from Legos, to Calico Critters and Shopkins, to playing restaurant. That table is probably the best thing they got the whole Christmas! (Thanks, Woody!)

Hope your Christmas was filled with Love and Joy!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!
