Hi! I'm the owner of TheBusyNothings.com. I've been married to my college sweetheart Ben for 10 years and I'm passionate about my 2 little boys- one of whom has special needs. I love being real about my life and struggles and seek to understand God and chase his beauty. I enjoy cooking healthy/gluten-free, fashion from thrift stores and exercise to keep my sanity. I work from home, freelance writing and social media consulting with bloggers and small businesses. I am slowly figuring out how to balance family life and work. I love connecting with people, contact me at TheBusyNothings@gmail.com

  • I just unnecessarily filed a lot of things in my office to procrastinate on something I don't want to do. OK, it's time.

I’m honestly still very surprised that this “exercise and health” page even exists. You see, I’m new to the whole “exercise” thing. I feel that I’m a story that people can relate to thinking to themselves “if SHE can do it, I can!” After my second child I still had quite a lot of weight to looseon top of the weight that I *didn’t* loose from my first child. I gained about 75 lbs with each one and getting it off wasn’t nearly as easy as packing it on was. Or as delicious…

I have good months and bad months and here is my journey:
