Ultimate Home Gym Playlist

Looking for the ultimate home gym playlist? Oh, FBGs, we have GOT it for you! Ever since we created our garage gym (AKA, the Barn Box), I’ve been crafting the perfect home gym playlist. The track list is a little bit funky, a lot 90s, a bit grungy, occasionally hipster, and a whole lot of booty-bopping fun. With a little more than two hours of high-energy tunes, this playlist pairs well with just about any workout you’re doing — be it heavy weight-lifting, cardio, HIIT … anything! Heck, turn it on and dance your heart out. THAT could be your…

French Toast Fingers with Quick Berry Syrup

Finger foods. Every kid loves ’em. And, heck, a lot of grown-ups do as well. (Including us!) Which is why we can’t get enough of these tasty and adorable French Toast Fingers with Quick Berry Syrup from Alexandra Caspero’s and Whitney English’s (you might remember her from this inspiring podcast ep!) new book, The Plant-Based Baby & Toddler. As both moms and registered dietitians, Alexandra and Whitney know what’s up when it comes to making healthy foods that are quick and easy to prepare — but also that your kids will actually eat. Because there’s nothing worse than making a…

How to Relax and Find Ease

There’s no doubt that the last year and a half has been stressful for all of us, for all the reasons. And, while it seems as though we’re starting to settle back into some semblance of normal (whatever that means!), some of those big stressors and emotions are, well, still very much present. In a lot of ways, those fears and anxieties are almost hard to let go of after living so long in a locked down world. None of us want to be stressed, of course, but it seems that many of us are finding letting go and relaxing…

Review: Fast, Fresh, and Fit Food with Factor

To say I’m “busy” is the understatement of the year. With a very energetic and creative six-year-old plus twin toddlers plus my business plus my ongoing wine studies, I have a lot on my plate. And, while my proverbial life plate is quite full (and I think A LOT of you can understand that!), the actual plates that I eat meals off of can be rather, well, lacking some days. My husband and I do our best to meal plan and cook as much as we can, but our hands are literally full most evenings and it is a challenge.…

My Toddler Had a Breath Holding Spell and It Was Scary AF

There’s a lot of on-the-job learning when you’re a parent of a toddler. (Or, in my case, two toddlers!) Over time you learn how to find the perfect sippy cup, buy clothes they’ll actually wear, coerce them to leave the house on time, diffuse tantrums —  you know, normal everyday stuff. But, as I recently learned, you also become an expert in certain areas you DID NOT SEE COMING. Take, for example, a typical Wednesday evening with family. We had my parents over for dinner, all the kids were happily playing, and out of nowhere one of my twin daughters…

7 Affirmations That’ll Make You Happier

We all know how important self-talk is. What you say to yourself (and how you treat yourself) matters, big time. And, once you’re in the habit of watching your thoughts, it’s important to not only challenge the untrue ones, but also to replace them with something more uplifting. Something more like your best friend would say. Something that’ll encourage you to be happier, no matter the circumstances. But, coming up with that new phrase can be hard sometimes. And, it can feel totally Stuart-Smalley cheesy, right? That’s why today we are so thrilled to be sharing an excerpt from Kelsey…
