We are avid campers, actually we are on our 3rd camper. After years of camping every summer for months at a time, I have compiled a list of must haves to make our time spent away from home feel like we are at home. well, home away from home. These items are great whether you are “glamping” or sleeping in a tent in the great outdoors.
The home-gym gear I'd actually buy again — not the dusty gadgets. Built for a small apartment setup: strength, recovery, and a couple of upgrades that punch above their weight. Curated by someone who lifts and hates wasting money on clutter.
My everyday training kit — the shoes, apparel, bags, and gear I actually reach for at the gym, on runs, and everywhere in between. Every piece here has earned its spot through real use, not hype.
Juneteenth is a newer federally observed holiday meaning more events are being held each year! Northern California appears to have a nice amount of events happening right now to celebrate Juneteenth and its victorious history! Currently San Francisco, Fresno, and Sacramento County have the most events happening and will be found within this list! It is important that you pay attention to the date of these events as they are not all held on the 19th! There are many being held more on the weekend just to give you a heads up. Many of these events make me jealous that I will not be able to attend. I hope you are able to find the perfect event for you to attend on this list. If you are in a different city in Northern California and need help finding an event closer to you let me know in the comments and I can try to help find a couple for you! Have a happy Juneteenth!

This is a list of things that help me during my fitness journey. Taking care of littles is not an easy task, but I as a mom always want to make sure I can keep up with my littles too! Going to a gym is impossible for me so just having the basics at home helps me out A LOT! At the same time my littles are watching me and wanting to workout too, so I let them! It's not too late to teach them how to stay active and fit. It also gets them tired and calm too!
New runner here! And by new I mean, newly dedicated to becoming good at it.
I used to run for fun with my step dad, but once I moved away a couple of years ago, the running dates ended and I just stopped doing it altogether.
In 2025 I found new inspiration to push myself and become a good runner, make some new goals, and be that runner girl for 2026.
Although my primary focus is always lifting weights, I do intend to get to half-marathon readiness in 2026 and who knows maybe run a half? Lets see how the year unfolds 💕
