My name is Crista Leigh and I am a married, 33- year old digital marketing strategist, marketing professor, former radio disc jockey and recovering journalist who is based in Upstate New York.

In my former life I worked at a record label, booked concerts, hung out with rockstars and was called “The Rock Goddess.”

Now, I’m called “Mama” and I barely have enough energy to ask Alexa to play “Who Let the Dogs Out” for the millionth time.

The original purpose of this blog was to chronicle my pregnancy with our first baby.  Miss Willow Rose was born on Saturday, November 21, 2015.

Like so many things in life, the idea (and intent) behind this blog has evolved.  After working in the health and fitness industry and feverishly attempting to find resources for women who want to keep fit during (and after) pregnancy, this blog seemed like an amazing opportunity.  It has now expanded from recipes and fitness related items to include product reviews, conversations on health issues, Willow’s life and more.
