Christmas time is becoming more and more magical as my boys become a little older. I’d say this year was one of the best! Their ages are 3 and 4.5. Our top movies were Home Alone and the Grinch! Every car ride consisted of listening to the Home Alone soundtrack on repeat! Ernie the elf was a hit once again and no one cried to see Santa! It was all so perfect.
Happy weekend babes! If you’ve been following along on socials you know that I have made a movement these past few months to start exercising, eating right, and just making better choices for myself. Being a working mom I had every excuse in the world to not put myself first. Work. Two little boys. A house and laundry to keep up with. Social life. I just wasn’t exactly where I wanted to be… forcing my jeans to go on, changing tops 1000 times to get one that fit correctly, not feeling puffy. (sound familiar?)
I was wondering how could I possibly fit eating healthy and exercising into my life.
I needed this to fit into my life vs adding on another thing.
Luckily, the internet is a magical place and you can find your people. I found Kellar – I think of her as my fit bestie (not sure if she feels the same ha)! Kellar and Jamie are the brains, chefs, and fitness gurus behind Clean Kitchen. Clean Kitchen has a few components; a cookbook , a seasonal 12 week challenge, and Versus Gym.

I love buying Christmas pajamas for the entire family. Each year, my boys get a new pair that they can wear on Christmas morning. Today I am sharing my all time favorites for the kiddos and even some for the parents! It’s important that mom and dad look cute too for those selfies on Christmas morning. We know they’re trying so desperately hard to stay awake because they were probably up half the night putting together a doll house, kitchen, train table, etc. 😉
