As a personal trainer and mom of a four-month-old, my workouts revolve around baby's nap time.
I created a workout that targets all the major muscle groups. This routine utilizes the stairs in my home so it's convenient, quick and effective. It takes about...

For me, hospitality is a joy. I like having people over, throwing showers and hosting bible studies. It's a part of my love language. And in this season of my life, it is actually easier than going somewhere. But...
