Ryan and I are expecting a little one this August. I am 17 weeks pregnant right now (our due date is August 10) and we could not be more thrilled!!!
Living a Life Fueled by Healthy Food and Fitness
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!
