All the softball mom must haves for a great weekend at the park with your girl!

I grew up in northern Michigan and now live in Arizona, being outdoors has been a huge part of my life and I wanted to share some of my favorite things for camping that I have found over the years and things I will continue to implement into my outdoor adventures. Just because you are outdoors doesn't mean you can't be comfortable.

This is the list of items that I have purchased and love. Everything on here I have not only worn and race tested these are the items that I choose above other items in my wardrobe time and time again

Items here are things that we use for our at home gym or items that we use at the gym. Items that we carry with us in our gym bag. You will also find some of our favorite pre workouts & protein powder that we love!

As a beginner runner, these are some of the essentials that helped me ease into the running scene 👟 I spent time researching shoes because a solid pair really is an investment — your feet (and knees) will thank you! But running isn’t just about the miles — recovery, comfort, and feeling good in your gear matter just as much.

As part of my getting out and trying new things and exploring this Country of ours, we have started camping , and as we are a little older although very young at heart we have included some extra comforts, stopping short of a Travel Trailer. We like to enjoy nature a little more than that. These are our must haves, and gear we like.

From weightlifting, Tennis, Pilates or Yoga here are my go to workout outfits and accessories. Mostly of the colors I buy is black, brown, or black. For tennis I usually do white! Let me know what you think of the list.

Hot mat pilates can get you sweaty - so I love going prepared and ready for class. These are my must haves!

I’ve lived in Fresno almost 20 years, here are my favorite places to go and have fun :) From hidden gems to well-loved favorites, each place on this list has something special to offer.

These are things I believe every person needs for their fitness journey. From protein snacks to heavy lifting accessories.

✨ Things That Make My ADHD Brain Happy While running around doing errands and exercising (aka my “Dopamine Movement Kit”) ✨ Listen, running around and exercise is great and all—but when you’ve got ADHD, we both know the real workout is staying focused long enough to find your left sneaker. That’s why I’ve made this highly specific, possibly chaotic list of stuff that turns "ugh, a workout" into "heck yes, let's MOVE” or “Yes! Let’s get our errands done today!” 🎧 Headphones that slap so hard I forget I’m working out Noise-cancelling? Yes. Bass boosted? Absolutely. Playing that one song I’ve had on loop for 3 days straight? You already KNOW. If my music doesn’t make me feel like I’m in a movie montage or a dance battle with my past self, I don’t want it. 👟 Shoes that feel like hugs for my feet Bonus points if I can jump, run, pivot, moonwalk, or dramatically storm off during a workout. (They must also be comfy enough to forget I’m wearing them, but stylish enough to stare at mid-rep and say “ooh, cute.”) I wear through shoes quickly because I’m always on the go! 🧃A hyper-specific water bottle that I am irrationally emotionally attached to It has a straw. It fits in my car cupholder. It never leaks. It’s probably covered in stickers. And if I forget it at the gym, I will drive back for it. 🧼 Scented anything (lotion, lip balm, essential oil roller—pick your flavor) Because sometimes you need a smell distraction to get through the last set. Lavender = chill. Citrus = go mode. Peppermint = brain reboot. It’s the little things, y’know? At the same time I also don’t want to be stuck smelling bad smells too cause yuk. 🌀 A highly chaotic workout routine that makes no sense but keeps me engaged Is it yoga? Is it dance cardio? Is it interpretive skipping? No one knows. All I know is I’m moving, I’m sweating, and I’m vibing—and that’s what matters. 👖Leggings or shorts with SO many pockets Not two. Not four. I’m talking EIGHT pockets. I want to carry my phone, keys, snacks, my hopes and dreams, and a tiny emotional support lip balm at all times. So what is the point I’m trying to make? If it’s shiny, cozy, scented, musical, or turns exercise or doing my errands into a game I can "win," it's on the list. Because ADHD doesn’t want a routine. ADHD wants a vibe. And this list? Total dopamine gold. 🧡 Happy brain. Happy body. Let’s go move weird and have fun doing it. 🧡

hiking, exercise, and outdoor activity gear that we own and has lasted years

It's so easy to become glued to your desk when working from home. Combining my office and home gym as the same room was the best thing I did for my health. I can get a little extra movement in walking on the walking pad, or even cycling on the Peloton with an attached laptop tray. A small weight rack tucked behind the bike makes a decent amount of free weights easily accessible throughout the day, too! It is possible to have office and gym together, even in a small space.

everything i use everyday for the gym or working out at home

I don't get to do the victory dance a whole lot here, so you can imagine what MY typical reaction is! Who knew that the sport of using a round object to knock down several pins goes back thousands of years (I'm looking at you, Egypt! Of course, back then, balls and pins were made of vastly different materials, and they certainly didn't have the variety of accessories that we enjoy today!) So in case you're interested in taking up this sport, here are some of the attire, balls, gloves, equipment, and accessories that caught my attention – and they're applicable, whether you favor 10-pin, 5-pin, or duckpin bowling.Note: This list may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission (at no charge to you) if you make a purchase using these links.

Active living should be accessible, fun, and confidence-boosting for every body. This collection highlights the best plus-size workouts, size-inclusive activewear, and fitness gear that helps you feel strong, supported, and joyful while moving.

Let’s keep it real: my “gym” is the living room floor between LEGO landmines and a suspicious stain that may or may not be applesauce from 2022. But as a stay-at-home mom building a business and trying not to lose my core (or my mind), I’ve learned that real fitness isn’t about perfect form—it’s about showing up in 10-minute windows between snack demands and emotional support requests from a goldfish. So I stopped buying $20 resistance bands that snap during toddler tantrums and invested in quality gear—stuff that lasts, motivates, and doesn’t judge me for working out in yesterday’s PJs. This isn’t a list for Instagram models. It’s for moms who want to feel strong, energized, and like more than just “the snack lady.” And yes—some of it even doubles as nap-time white noise. 💪✨
