About Julie

My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

I’m sitting here at my favorite local coffee shop after dropping the boys off at school. All of them…. at the same elementary school…. for the first time ever. And the tears are flowing. Not from them — oh no — but from me. How did we get here? How is my last baby off…

Our final full week of summer break is coming to a close today and I’m unsure how I feel about it. The work side of me is looking forward to a routine, more regular blogging (I’ve missed this space so much!) and more time to focus on parts of PBF I’ve neglected for months. But…

Key West Summer Vacation with Kids

We just got back from a week-long family vacation in Key West, Florida and it was equal parts HOT and wonderful! Our family of five visited Key West with my parents and filled our days with snorkeling, fishing, scuba diving, swimming and lots of island exploration. (Key West is super walkable which we LOVED.) It…
