About

Broccoli Cupcake is a place to find and share information about living a happy, healthy lifestyle.  The content is fueled by my journey to improve not only my own health, but the health of my husband and my two adorable (translation… rowdy) boys.  By changing our lifestyle and improving our health, it is my hope that we will grow closer and find greater happiness as individuals and as a family.  Broccoli Cupcake is about finding balance between the “good for you” and the “mmm…sooo good.”  There’s a reason people say “at least I’ve got my health” because without our health can we truly be happy?

What can you expect when you visit broccoli cupcake? 

First, you’ll find insightful articles from interviews with experts in various fields related to family and women’s health.  (I might as well put my journalism degree to work, right?)  You will also find stories and ideas based on our daily attempts to be a happier, healthier family including workouts, activities, recipes, tricks for getting your kids (and your husband) to eat healthier and more.  And on occasion you might find a ranting or raving about a product, news story or something else that has me really excited or really aggravated because most of the time the media doesn’t hold up to my reporting standards as a mom.   Whatever you find, I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to exploring “where happy meets healthy” with you. 

About Me

I’m a wife and working mom to two boys under 4.  I’m passionate about all things health, fitness and mommy related and I’m a certified group fitness instructor.  I love learning about anything that can help me to live a healthier lifestyle and work every day to pass this passion on to my boys.  That being said, it’s important to point out that I also love family, friends, food and fun.  So yes, I drink wine and the occasional margarita.  We have pizza Friday’s at our house (sometimes it’s a healthy made at home recipe and sometimes its Dominos) and we eat cake and ice cream at birthday parties.  I think life is all about finding the balance that works for you.   Thanks for visiting Broccoli Cupcake.  Please leave a comment or feel free to email me at broccolicupcake@yahoo.com.
