Hi Friends!
Today I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership that I’m super excited about! Thanks to Fitfluential, I’m teaming up with Kohl’s for the next few months to help introduce and promote their #MakeYourMove campaign!
Have you heard of it? If not, here’s a bit more about the inspiration behind the campaign:
It’s founded on the belief that successfully leading a healthy, active life means saying yes to the things that energize and inspire you. It means embracing opportunity, having more fun and leading the life that gives you the most joy. And it means shifting your focus so that life is more of a journey than a destination!
Kohl’s wants to shine a spotlight on all the ways that living well can feel good and be easy and fun. You guys know that’s pretty much my life philosophy, right? The Make Your Move campaign actually kicked off in January when Kohl’s invited America to share what Make Your Move means to them – what things they do that energize, enliven, motivate, and bring them joy as they try to live a healthier life.
So, what’s my role here? My goal over the next couple of months is to share several blog posts with you guys that will inspire you to Make Your Move in certain areas! I’m going to share some of my own personal goals and I want to hear yours! Along the way I’ll highlight some of the awesome cooking tools, fitness gear and more that’s available at Kohl’s to help all of us achieve our goals!
In short, it’s all about encouraging each other to get healthy and have fun while doing it! Let’s form some new healthy habits together, shall we?
So, want a sneak peek at what’s coming up?
First let me tell you about a couple of my goals for the next few months:
- Continue to spread the word about food prep.
- You guys already know I love food prep, right? Well this summer I’m ramping things up a notch and I want to make even more of you guys fall in love with it too! I’ve been working on a Food Prep ebook will all sorts of helpful info that I can’t wait to share with you guys…but in the meantime I’ll be sharing a post with some of my very best tips to help you get started! I’ve been getting a lot of questions about HOW I actually get all my prep done, since I usually just share a picture of the final product…so stay tuned for more on that!
- Exercise as a family at least one a week.
- If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been doing less workouts at the Crossfit box and more workouts outside and in the garage with hubby and Squish. There are a few reasons for that. First, Squish is getting older and it’s really important to hubby and I that he grow up healthy and active. I want him to SEE us working out and get him excited about moving around, even at a young age. To see my workouts (even some videos!) be sure to follow me on Instagram!
- Second, we have a pretty big side project in the works that I can’t wait to share with you guys! (Spoiler alert- we’re opening a Crossfit gym!!) I can’t wait to share all the details with you and show you pictures and all of that…but for now, suffice it to say we’re kinda “between gyms” so we’re making it work by getting our workouts in at home, in the park, etc.
- I’m a huge fan of working out as a family and when you have little one around you don’t always have the opportunity to workout without them. Instead of letting that be a hindrance, I’m embracing it! Stay tuned for a fun stroller workout you can do as a family AND a workout you can do while wearing your baby!!
In addition to those topics, I have a couple other posts planned once August rolls around to help make back to school season a little less stressful. Hint- things like food prep and crockpots can be a big help and so can getting your kids into the kitchen with you!
So now it’s your turn:
How are you going to #MakeYourMove this summer?
Tell me one of your goals!
Maybe there’s something you’ve been thinking about for a while but aren’t sure where to start? Leave it in the comments and let me and other readers give you some suggestions!
Big, small, food-related, fitness-related, health-related….I want to hear it! And the world wants to hear about it as well. Use the #MakeYourMove hashtag on social media and tag me so I can cheer you on!

You know how I love Kohl’s– I loved working on this campaign and I love shopping at there. I am so excited to follow along and see how you’ll be making your move. I am still following through on many of the tasks that I set out to do when I wrote my posts. One of my goals was and is to grow my blog in a new and different way and it’s working- I’ve had more growth in the past few months than I ever have in the history of my site– so Make Your Move can really work if you set you mind to it! So excited to see what you have in store and I’d love to get back to doing Sunday food prep with you!
Working out as a family has always been a huge priority for us. From a young age my kids have known why mom and dad work out – it’s good for your whole mind and body!
Wow how exciting opening your own CrossFit box! my husband and I always said that if we won the lottery we would open one of our own – haha!
My goal for the next few months is to find a job I love/ create my own. I qualify as a health coach in September and then the world is my oyster! Very nervous but also exciting!
LOVELOVELOVE THEY CHOSE YOU FOR THIS.
Quite frankly it has made me think KOHLS? I LOVE YOU MORE!! 🙂
I’m a Kohls fan and think this is a great campaign. I’m going to work on getting stronger this summer.
You’re opening a CrossFit gym??!! That’s so exciting!!! And that’s a great campaign to be a part of!
Love Kohls! You and your little one look adorable in your new outfits! Too cute
What a great partnership! I love Kohls! Our goal as a family this summer was to take a walk after dinner every night we are home together. My husband is studying for the Bar and I have a crazy work schedule so any time we have together we love to be outside!
HOW EXCITING ABOUT OPENING A GYM!! Congrats!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
I’m so excited for you!! What an awesome opportunity!!
Congrats!!! Such a great role model for Squish!
What a great opportunity, go YOU!!! My husband and I love to hike out here in San Diego and always joke about whose going to be carrying the baby hike pack…. can’t wait to see if you unveil one!

From being a great mom to Chase to blogging to starting a gym, you are such an inspiration. Now send me some of that energy 😉 I plan on making my move this summer by taking more family walks after dinner. We usually go straight to bath time but we need to enjoy more of this light and quality time as a family !
Hardest thing for me to do while in medical school is actually to deviate from my gym schedule. I’m so used to telling myself to push it through my routine because I’m tired after a long day that I miss out on certain activities with friends such climbing, hiking, or swimming in the river. The latter three activities are rejuvenating because I am spending time with friends and I also get to work my muscles in different ways. Usually the next day I can go back to my gym routine refreshed! This summer I am going to have more fun while still doing active things!
This is very exciting, Lindsay! Opening your own Crossfit gym seems like such a natural fit for you. And congrats on the new partnership!
I’m going to #MakeMyMove this summer by dancing more. It’s my favorite way to exercise but I haven’t been doing it as often as I used to.
Thanks for inspiring!
This is awesome and so excited that you are doing this campaign! Congrats friend and can’t wait to follow along!
I love all of your goals and look forward to #MakeYourMove together! I love that we can get our family involved–it is so easy and fun! My sons and I love playing lacrosse in the front yard, basketball in the driveway and my older son just received an agility set so we will be doing drills together. I need help with food prep so I’ll definitely be using your tips. You reminded me that I need tupperware!
Excited to be working this campaign with you!! Looking forward to all your posts! Your food prep picture is SUPER YUMMY!!
I love this! I’m so excited for you and Bret to be opening up your own box!! And I love the idea of having Squish be part of your workouts–I actually hate when I run without my stroller now (which will make half marathon training very difficult) because I feel like I finally have a running partner in Baby A&W! I want her to be active and healthy from the beginning, something I wasn’t (besides active on the farm and in sports now and then) when I was younger. Can’t wait!
