You may be wondering: Why are we rolling out brand new programming? The answer is simple, we want to empower YOU to accelerate your results and make the FASTer Way even EASIER to implement this summer.

Our purpose has always been to equip and empower you to stay well, prevent disease, and fulfill your purpose with energy. We want to see you THRIVE and experience ideal health so you can live your best life this summer, even in times of uncertainty. We want to help you take back control of your health. Friend, stay encouraged! You CAN control what you eat. You CAN control the workouts you do on a daily basis. You CAN control the community you surround yourself with. June 1 kicks off our summer round with our NEW client experience and we want to see YOU there.

To help you get started, we’ve enhanced our 6-week experience with you and your goals in mind. Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Science-backed nutrition and fitness strategies delivered in an accelerated format. You’ll learn all about FASTer Way’s strategies and how they work WITH your body, not against it. You’ll also learn about important health topics such as hormone health, stress, sleep, alcohol, and MORE!

  • A strong focus on NON-SCALE VICTORIES – no weigh-ins allowed! The scale is a LIAR and we will not let it dictate your life! We can’t say it loud enough- THE SCALE DOESN’T DEFINE YOU! You will NOT be weighing yourself in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss program. We want you to feel empowered and encouraged by the progress you are making, not about reaching a number on a scale. Are you sleeping better? Do you have more energy? Do you have newfound confidence? Are your pants fitting more comfortably? Those are WINS that deserve to be celebrated! PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION, friends!

  • NEW at-home workouts. Who needs a gym for an effective workout? Not us! No expensive, bulky equipment is needed to crush your goals with FASTer Way at-home workouts AND it is done in 30 minutes!

  • NEW FASTer Way SWAG and equipment options. Don’t have dumbbells to use at home? No problem! All of our exercises can be modified for bands, body weight, and low impact options. Do you like the equipment and swag that you see in our daily videos and posts? No FOMO here! You can get your own in the FASTer Way Shop! 

 

  • You’re not alone! Our community follows the same workout on a regular basis. Whether you’re a new client or a VIP member, we complete our workouts TOGETHER as a community.

    Let this summer be the time where YOU become the fittest, the happiest and the healthiest version of you.

Experience FREEDOM as you learn to live a healthy lifestyle with strategies that work with your body, not against it.

DockATot Deluxe

6 / 18 / 188 / 11 / 19

Our sweet Berkeley Mae was born this summer, on June 21, 2017. It was an easy delivery and she completed our now, family of six. I’ve had a lot of practice with babies over the past nine years. I’ve birthed four and fostered six, and because of this, we’ve tried a ton of baby products. Some have been amazing and others, a complete waste of money. I’ve also learned that babies have preferences and they aren’t all buying what companies are selling. Sometimes swinging around like a monkey isn’t soothing, but actually quite terrifying. Berkeley made sure we knew this by crying every time we tried it. So… one expensive product was passed along to her cousin who actually enjoys it.

This time around, we were gifted the DockATot Deluxe, and it is hands down the baby product we’ve used the most over the past six months. We are a co-sleeping family and the DockATot has made it much easier for us to do this. I’ve gotten so much more sleep and Berkeley loves the cozy feel of it and has been sleeping through the night since 10 weeks.

So you may be wondering, what is the DockATOt?

DockATot® is a multi-functional lounging, playing, chilling, resting and snuggling dock you can take anywhere. Designed in Sweden, it has been tested for breathability, is OEKO-TEX certified, all natural and 100% cotton. It has an ideal micro-climate for babies and toddlers. It’s also machine washable.

We have found all of this to be true. We use the DockATot Deluxe (0-8 months) for naps at home and when we are traveling or at others’ homes. Berkeley has slept in her DockATot in hotels, at my 93 year old grandfather’s house, on her cousins nursery floor and many other places. We are planning on carrying it on the airplane with us in a few weeks so she can nap in it, on our four hour flight.

Napping in her cousin’s nursery when we traveled to Virginia to meet him for the first time.

Hanging by the lake (of course supervised and only this close for a pic) at her grandparent’s house.

Napping with her big sister while mommy was folding laundry.

Napping at her Great Grandfather’s house while on a road trip.

Berkeley is constantly being smothered in hugs and kisses by her siblings, so sometimes you can see her breathe a sigh of relief when we put her in her DockATot. It’s her comfort spot away from mommy. We love that she has a consistent place to rest!

You can check out all of the products here: DockATOt.

We are looking forward to trying the next size, DockATot Grande in the coming weeks!

**We were given the DockATot Deluxe Dream Weaver compliments of DockATot. As always, the reviews and opinions of products are our own.**

DIY Shiplap Wall

6 / 18 / 189 / 19 / 18

Ever since we discovered Fixer Upper and Joanna Gaines, we’ve been positively giddy about “shiplap!” A year ago, I had never heard this term and now I would love to shiplap every wall in my house. Like seriously.

My three year old talks about shiplap as if it’s just an every day vocabulary word and my sweet husband just rolls his eyes as I tell him all of my shiplapping plans for the future. My guess is that there are many others out there that have also had their worlds rocked by the beautiful possibility of shiplap, but need some help with getting started.

Well, we’ve got you covered! We have two ways for you to get the shiplap look in DIY style and on a friendly budget. I’m sharing my method in this post and Christine will share her’s in another.  Happy Shiplapping friends!

Method One:

Our master bedroom is big and I wanted an accent wall to give it some farmhouse character. Michael set off to Home Depot for our supplies and I prepped the room. 

 

Michael bought Sande Birch Plywood from Home Depot. He had them cut the boards into 6 inch planks. (Warning- the boards were less than clean cuts so if you can do it yourself, it’s better)

Once he arrived home, we sanded the boards with fine grit sandpaper. We just did the edges and it didn’t take long.

This is me (Becca) taking the boards upstairs.

We started at the top of the wall and did our best to level the boards. We used a nail gun to make it faster but you can do this job with just a hammer (it might take a bit longer).

Progress on the wall…

Once we finished nailing the wood to the wall, it was time to prime and paint. We used Sherwin Williams primer and Alabaster paint. We opted not to fill the nail holes with wood filler because I wanted the rustic look.

Here is the finished wall. I absolutely love how it brightened our master bedroom!

Let me know if you need help or advice. I will just be at home shiplapping.
