JPP Stroller Bootcamp has been a passion project of mine for the past 8 years. Ever since I became a Mom I’ve been developing this class that empowers mothers with community and confidence. So what is JPP Stroller Bootcamp? It’s a movement experience for all moms. Where we can come together to sweat, make friends and support each other. It may not always go according to plan, but that’s okay. Because in Motherhood, we’re all in this together.

We were driving home after school drop off when I turned to Ryan and said, “I need my own space to teach in. I am ready. There has to be a place for me. Or we have to buy a new house and build a studio on the top floor…”
His response was so Ryan. Unphased by my random Tuesday morning declaration he said, “Okay. I think the first option is better.” ’
I’ve had this thought for years in my soul. But I never believed it in my head. This time was different.
That same afternoon I called the one person I knew would be able to help me find a space. My dear friend Jillian. She asked me for my wish l ..read more

Every single summer I always marvel at how quickly it flies by. We start off thinking we have all the time in the world and then poof, it’s over. I suppose you can say the same about childhood. One minute they are babies in our arms during sleepless nights and the next we are waking them up for school in the morning. I always think the future seems so far away, but as I’ve come deeper in my motherhood journey I have realized everything is just around the corner.
MEFA’s U.Fund 529 College Investing Plan recently sponsored one of my JPP Kids classes and let me tell you, it was qu ..read more

There’s no denying it. Life is busy again. And while it’s amazing to come back to so many things we love, it can also be mentally and physically draining. Personally I’ve felt stress and exhaustion sneaking back into my own body. This is always a sign that I’m focusing on everyone other than myself. Sound familiar?
I am craving a return to my core. Maybe you are too?
Return to Core is a 5 day group class challenge that begins on June 1st. For 5 consecutive days I will take you through a 20-30 minute online JPP class. Each class will be appropriate for all levels and feature a signature work ..read more

First things, first - it’s been a while since I cleared the air and reminded everyone of one basic truth. Chef Boomer is not a Chef. Yes, that’s correct. He should and could be, but in real life he’s actually Scientist.
Okay, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way I’ll share the point of this post. Recently I asked my friends on Instagram what kind of content they wanted to see more of. I was very surprised when many (many) of you said you wanted to see more about the food I eat including recipes and tips from Chef Boomer. I had to relay all of this to the Chef himself because he doesn’t ev ..read more

As a parent I want nothing more than to give my sons every opportunity to grow into their fullest potential. That’s why this past year has been so challenging. I’ve felt paralyzed by things I can’t do. This winter I decided once and for all, it’s the right time to take action over things I CAN control.
Since the pandemic hit, I’ve watched my first grader “go to school” via a computer in his bedroom. Instead of biking to school, playing with friends and exploring new activities he is stuck online and bursting at the seams with energy. “Mom, I just need to run,” he said to me one day. Then it hi ..read more

I've been thinking a lot about the push and pull of life lately. We're juggling too many hats with slippery fingers. Pandemic or not, is this the spin of parenting ?
I remember when Grayson was just around 15 months old I had the opportunity to train an A-List actress. It was an experience that left me feeling like I was about to fall off a ferris wheel. One minute I was sitting cross-legged on the ground in a toddler sign-language class and the next I was signing confidentiality agreements and doing planks with a celebrity. No sooner was the session over and I'd be changing a poopy diaper whi ..read more

“Mom, there’s a cow outside the window!!!” Grayson shrieked with excitement from inside the bath tub. I turned my head to glance over my shoulder and sure enough there in plain sight was a cow grazing in a field, under the setting sun just a few yards away. The boys giggled and started mooing. Just like in a movie, the cow mooed back. I swear to you, I am not joking. Shocked, we all burst into laughter and in that moment I knew… this was going to be a great weekend. Clearly, we were not in Charlestown anymore.
A few weeks ago our family was invited to Blind Bu ..read more
