I’m not sure if you’ve heard but there’s this book called “Because Your Mommy Does Crossfit” by Ben DeCastro! I came across it randomly about 6 months ago and immediately thought “I NEED THIS BOOK FOR EMMA!” As I’ve said numerous times before Emma has been joining me at the gym since she was 6

When you workout the LAST thing you want to be thinking about is pulling your pants up! In the middle of burpees or double unders especially! Talk about annoying! I find that locating stay-put Crossfit leggings in full-length are the hardest, then capris. Shorts hardly seem to be an issue. Though I personally am still
Here we go! I registered for this year’s Open! For those who don’t speak Crossfit this is the first step towards the Crossfit Games which occur every Summer. Obviously, I have no ideas of getting anywhere near the games (ha that’s so laughable I don’t have words), or Regionals but participating in the Open is

First off I do not claim to have this figured out AT ALL! There are days or even weeks that I swear I am the worst mother on the planet, let alone wife! What I do know is that I try very hard to find a balance between the major aspects of my life. I
Not a Games Athlete! Just a real person!
I feel as though I should preface all my thoughts with the fact that I AM NOT a Games level athlete. I’m not even close to a regionals level athlete.

Hello world!
Welcome to my brand new blog!!! I’m super excited to share with you all (and stop harassing my friends and family) everything I’ve learned, experienced and continue to learn through my journey as a mom and Crossfitter. I basically started Crossfit because a good friend had been doing it for a couple months and I
