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!

I’ve been following your blog for a couple years and don’t typically leave comments since I always feel it’s unlikely that you’ll happen to read mine, but I thought this was the perfect opportunity to speak up! Congratulations to you and Ryan!! You will be amazing parents and I will be praying for you both as your new chapter unfolds. I can’t wait to read how you adapt your fitness and lifestyle during pregnancy so I can tuck all your advice and knowledge away for if/when I need it someday! 🙂
