Introducing Erin’s Blog!

Expect health, fitness, family and a bit of goofy.

As Jenn mentioned yesterday, each FBG is going to have a weekly personal blog-style update around these parts. I’m excited because now that I spend most of my time over on Fit Bottomed Mamas, this will give me the opportunity to get back to my original Fit Bottomed Girls roots!

If you haven’t been reading long, the in-a-nutshell (help, I’m in a nutshell!) scoop on me is as follows:

1. I co-founded FBG in 2008 with the fabulous Jenn. After a layoff from my “real” job in 2010, I was able to dedicate more time to doing what I love—this!

2. My hubby and I just celebrated six years of marriage last month. He’s hilarious and wonderful. My daughter was born in 2010 and is hilarious and wonderful as well. I stay home with her while also trying to work, which is a juggling act like no other. We’ve also got another kiddo on the way, so the fun just never stops!

3. I have an adorable troublemaker pug. She’s the best.

4. I live in New Jersey after a stint in California. Jerseylicious is filmed right down the road from us. Seriously. A born-and-raised Kansan, I sometimes can’t believe I live here.

5. Workouts these days include anything I can do with my daughter—stroller walks, workout DVDs—as there’s just not much time for the gym these days.

Stay tuned for my experiences trying to stay active during my pregnancy, fitting in workouts with a busy toddler around, and eventually, how I’m going to try to get back in shape post-baby (when I have TWO kiddos keeping me busy. Yikes!). I’ll likely throw in other random food, health and fitness thoughts and tidbits just to keep things fresh. It’ll be fun for sure! —Erin
