Rebranding, Revamping and Life Changing

I started this blog many moons ago to keep a log of my life as a new parent.

Slowly but sure the new parenting journey became a fitness journey.

The fitness journey sprouted into a diet change journey.

The fitness and diet became a side business to help like minded women streamline their own fitness and nutrition.

The side business became a full time business that is now my heart and soul.

Funny thing about all these changes, I also grew to love leading people and as a woman I feel this role of leadership while also being an active parent is not talked about enough. That's not fair, it's talk about a lot, you can find it everywhere. What you can't find is HOW to do it. What tools do you need to move up in your career while maintaining a family?

I'm here to help.

I want to share with you how I manage a family and career while feeling as little guilt as possible.

In an effort to better connect this blog with my mission I have renamed it Career Strong. For women moving up in their career who are raising families and also want to do it the healthy way.

I hope you enjoy the change and the weekly installments of leadership, health, parenting and humor.

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up. We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small! Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar. I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny. So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

To Stella

I thought it would be fun to write a letter to you before I met you. We could read it together later and laugh about how clueless I was about you! Dear Stella, It's Christmas 2011 and I honestly haven't thought at all about the holiday this year. All I can think about is March, when I get to meet you for the first time. Your Dad and I went to the hospital this week to check out where you would be born! I thought for sure going to the hospital would make me anxious but instead it made me incredibly excited. What a gift it is to bring someone into the world and because of you I get to experience that. You have no idea how much you were prayed for, wanted, hoped for, for so many years. I always knew I wanted to be a mother, even back in high school when I worked in a toy store and joked about getting my tubes tied. :-) But, when I found out about YOU I couldn't have been happier. I remember standing in the bathroom completely convinced that I had willed ...

2012 Highlights

So I'm obviously abandoning my attempt to try to capture every Saturday in Stella's life. I now realize that's impossible. Plus, not everything in the world happens on a Saturday. It's the fun/sad/crazy moments that are the ones you want to remember right? (by sad I mean "my baby's growing up" sniff sniff) And those usually happen on a random Tuesday or something. So I'm going to attempt in this last post of the year (and some of you may be saying "your only post this year", no I had like 7 okay...ha ha) to remember the BEST moments of my life in 2012. You may want to go pee, eat something and bring a drink back, this sucker's going to be long. Our House January 1st we moved into our house. I love our house. It is seriously a fairytale house and neighborhood where I want my babies to grow up. I have a nightmare once a month that involves us moving, I usually wake up very sad. Odd, yes. Apparently you know you're old when you...
