moth·er
ˈməT͟Hər/The meaning of being a mother is virtually endless. A mother is a protector, disciplinarian and friend. A mother is a selfless, loving human who must sacrifice many of their wants and needs for the wants and needs of their children. A mother works hard to make sure their child is equipped with the knowledge, skills and abilities to make it as a competent human being. Being a mother is perhaps the hardest, most rewarding job a woman will ever experience. (livestrong.com)

Mommylete

Its as easy as that. This is our journey as moms and as athletes. If there was ever a time to focus on your health and well-being this is one of the best (for many reasons we will talk about in future posts)!

Fitness is "all the rage" right now, which I am super grateful for because they now make degrees for it in college! So with all the real professionals, differing opinions and studies out there, who am I to think I get to talk about fitness?

Nobody really, just an active competitive girl who married a way cooler college athlete who had a sporty little baby and this mommy happens to also be a.....student.....who has a senior project.

A lot of thought came to mind when figuring out what to do for my senior project. First Daddylete and I were reading 'Tuesday's With Morrie' together (yes, we do the actual prehistoric turn the pages read out loud type reading and YES, you should read it if you haven't). I thought to myself do I have a professor that has influenced me like that? And I realized maybe not to the extent of Morrie but, Dr. Boyer at UVU (before I ended up at ASU) is one of those type of professors. He is so animated, thoughtful and understanding. I was in my first trimester for one of his 8 am classes and happened to have a "sick" morning which happened to be a day of an important quiz. When I explained the situation he first thanked me for chosing the path of motherhood and for all the sacrifices I would give.

HE THANKED ME!!! 

Choosing to start our family while in school is a hard one to explain to people...we just knew... and although never got mean comments or judgement we know it isn't the HIGH opinion....but not only did he help me make up the quiz, he thanked me for sacrificing and choosing to be a mom! No one does that!

Dr. Boyer does. He also has 'Books of Boyer' which I won't give verbatim here because if they should ever be published it should be by him:) but one of his main focuses was to serve each other and always give back. He didn't just talk the talk he also usually had a client he was working with for free.

Now I am no professional yet, but I am studying hard to be! I hope to earn a master's someday in Kinesiology/strength and conditioning where I can be of more help. But while I am learning and even after attaining degrees I hope I can give back. Thus, the revamp and rebirth of this blog as my project. We will talk about anything and everything mommy, health physically, mentally, spiritually, workouts and getting those little ones active and involved!

welcome and enjoy!

p.s. being a student I can't keep up 2 blogs so this is also where I will post some of our family updates so babylete's 'granny and grampyletes, uncletes, and auntyletes can see our little one grow up!
