    T25 Final Results: Nailed it!

    July 16, 2014 - By 

    I’m officially done with T25 (at least round 1 of T25)!! This program has been a game changer for me in so many ways. When I started T25 I thought I was in decent shape. I would run a couple of days a week and occasionally go to the gym. I started my first day of T25 with cardio and busted through it. I really thought I nailed it (and I did). But the next few days nailed me. I struggled through the rest of that weeks workouts with extremely sore legs. Rest day and the stretch workout saved my aching…

    Farmer’s Market: Turtle Mountain Herbs

    July 15, 2014 - By

Something that my family has found that we love is going to the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings. Not only do we get awesome, fresh produce, there is a huge variety of vendors down on Market Square. There are food vendors, bakeries, coffee shops, flower stands, handmade jewelry, pottery, reusable bags, all natural…

    Cool Off with a Gourmet Popsicle

    July 3, 2014 - By 

    It’s summertime, it’s hot and naturally my kids want something cold to eat. And let’s face it so do I. After swim lessons yesterday I decided to take the kids to check out the local popsicle store I’ve been hearing so much about, Pop Culture. We have now found our new favorite spot to cool down. This is a family run business. As a family business owner myself, I just love supporting other family businesses. The store is decorated in bright inviting colors and even has a little children’s picnic table set up with coloring sheet and crayons. We were…

    Introducing Our Newest Mom Writer – Emily

    July 2, 2014 - By 

    Hey! I’m Emily and I’m a new blogger here at Mom Elite. I wanted to start out with just a simple introductory post. I have the privilege of being a full-time mommy to two beautiful babies: Jeremiah and Charleigh. Jeremiah (Miah) just turned 3 in June and Charleigh is 4 months. I was lucky enough to have two beautiful births. Miah was born at Lisa Ross Birth and Women’s Center and Charleigh was born at home in our bedroom with the help of a Certified Professional Midwife. Both of my births were wonderful, empowering experiences, that opened the door to…
