One of the reasons why people love camping is for fun family camping activities. Read my new blog post for a list of ideas and go have yourself a great time camping!

We love a good mix of downtime and fun activities. You can mostly find me sitting back and relaxing with a good book. You’ll find Kev in a kayak or hammock.

Today is National Boss's Day! I have had the pleasure of working from home since 2001 as my own boss. I can't believe it's been that long. It seems like I have done it all lol.

First it was direct sales, then I started some websites and blogging came along. I had a weight loss/fitness blog I started in 2008 then a travel blog in 2011 finally combining them not to long ago into HerGrandLife.com.

During that time I connected with my very first client and became a virtual assistant. That was back in 2005 and I am still working with her today.

Not until many years later did I come across Beachbody. I first joined for the product discount and the workouts. Then recently I decided the company was one I could stand behind and would be able to help others stay accountable in their fitness/happy journey. I mean I have had a weight loss and fitness site since 2008 so it works out well.

The company has been around for a long time AND one of the products has changed me. It's the superfood shake I always rave about lol. So needless to say, it was the right time.

I am your fitness/health motivator and accountability partner. Yay! I knew I needed my own cheerleaders and I definitely got that with Team Uproar. I'm blessed to be on the top team in the network. So fun. Want to do this with me?

Don't be afraid to reach out if you need someone to help keep you accountable to your healthy living goals or want to start a super fun business. Side hustle or full time. We've got you!

Head on over to my blog at hergrandlife.com/35538 to see some of my favorite things about working from home.

I'm SO SO thankful for this beautiful life now more than ever. And especially thankful for the amazing guy in this pic who most of you know as my hubby Kevin. He's always been so supportive and I'm grateful!

Life is short, so make every day count. Let's go.

We have made lots of fun family memories on three camping trips so far this season. It was not easy finding camping spots but we did get to have a few awesome trips. The campgrounds we stayed at are worth considering for your next trip.

Hopefully we have better luck next year as we can't always plan ahead. After our next camping trip later this month it will be about time to winterize our travel trailer. Those are sad words to say ha ha

Come see all the fun we had camping with family this season.

You might have seen Kev and I recently started a new fitness program called 645 (we are almost done with week 2, I can’t believe it😁). I'm hosting this thing called a challenge group and building a BOD squad💪 I would love to have you join me and go through this workout together. The 645 workout program is for anyone (with modifiers if you need that). When you start, I will be with you every step of the way. The new challenge group opens Monday 8/2/21.🎉 📌Side note: if this particular workout isn’t for you, there are hundreds more. I can help you find the best fit for you😉 I had an advancement in my new business and am SO close to hitting another milestone. 👊 If I can support you in your healthy living journey please let me know. Not only would you be supporting us, you'll be held accountable and supported on your own fitness and health journey. Nothing better than working out with friends and family ❤️ Yay! If you'd be up for it, I would like to send you more details. Comment below 👇 or send me a direct message. 📝 As always thanks for your support 🙏 Y’all are the best! #monthlyfitnesschallenge #fitnesschallengegroup #fitnessaccountablitygroup #dailyfitnessmotivation #makeexercisefun #workingonmyfitness #healthylivingtogether #reachyourpeak #getfitathome #indoorfitness #fitandhealthyafter40 #fitandhealthyliving #losingitandlovingit #hergrandlife (at Island Lake, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR-UXKWMGVY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yay! Hubby and I completed the first week of the new fitness program @645program! I have been checking in on stories daily to stay accountable and keeping track in my fitness group(s) too. We weighed and measured ourselves this week and can't wait to see what the next 12 weeks brings us. Looks like I have lost a few pounds although my goal for this is to get stronger and back to my 'normal' self. I would love to lose weight but inches would be fine too.😉 This 13 week program is a huge stretch for me as many of you know just 2 months ago I was in the ICU with a bad case of COVID pneumonia. And I have pretty bad knees. I have a lot of work to do but surprisingly I'm feeling great. I don't get out of breath in this program as much as I do walking to the mail box and walking up and down stairs. I don't have to take too many breaks during the workout which is really nice.👍 I'm still modifying the modifier but I'm all in. I know this workout will make us stronger 🙌 This workout is really helping mentally too. It's pushing me to do better every day. "This 13-week program combines cardio, resistance training, and restorative mobility workouts. Learn how to use proper form, workout with intention, be present with your body and reach your highest potential yet!" Doing the workout with my hubby Kevin is different from what I am used to but I love it. He keeps me going and I love his support. ❤️ We made the 645 commitment and if we finish the program we'll each get $45 back for completing the program. Gotta love the idea of getting paid to workout. If you need fitness and healthy living accountability, please reach out. We would love to support you and in turn you would be supporting us. Let's go...👊 #645program #monthlyfitnesschallenge #fitnesschallengegroup #fitnessaccountablitygroup #fitnessmotivationdaily #dailyfitnessmotivation #bodygoals2021 #makeexercisefun #workingonmyfitness #healthytogether #dailyfitnessinspiration #thefitlifestyle #thefitlife #losingitandlovingit #hergrandlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuzlaYspzI/?utm_medium=tumblr

During our overnight stay in Portage, WI, we had dinner at Suzy's Steak & Seafood House restaurant which was right next to the @bestwestern hotel we stayed at. We could easily walk there as it was in the same parking lot. 👍 We had a very tasty dinner. Kev had the Parmesan Baked Haddock and I had steak with a sweet potato😋. We shared a calamari appetizer and we each had a drink. I had a margarita and Kev had an Old Fashioned. And we split a slice of cheesecake.😉 We had a wonderful server and what a cute restaurant. Here are some pics from dinner. We would definitely return. #portagewi #portagewisconsin #suzyssteakandseafoodhouse #wisconsinrestaurant #travelwisconsin #wisconsintravels #travelblogger #travelbloggerlife #restaurantreview #restaurantreviewer #roadtripfood (at Suzy's Steak & Seafood House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmtv2bMFlK/?utm_medium=tumblr

This past weekend we went to Wisconsin for a family birthday surprise in Wisconsin Dells. Stayed at @bestwestern Portage, WI about 20 min away. Nice hotel, loved the balcony.

Happy Independence Day! Proud and blessed to be an American. 🇺🇸 We have relaxed and totally enjoyed ourselves this weekend. Today was great. Kev was able to kayak on Lake Defiance at Moraine Hills State Park here in IL this morning. I was able to relax and read while he did that. One day soon I'll join him as my breathing gets better. Yay! This evening we drove over an hour to have Good to Go Jamaica Cuisine @goodtogoja for dinner in Evanston, IL. It was fantastic as usual. 😉 Kev has tomorrow off so I'll do a bit of work then we'll relax. Hope your day was fabulous. Happy 4th of July. 🥰 What are you doing for the holiday weekend? #4thofjuly #4thofjulyweekend #4thofjuly2021 #independenceday #godblesstheusa #kayakingadventures #kayakingfun #kayakinglife #kayakingislove #travelillinois #illinoistravel #illinoisstateparks #goodtogojamaicancuisine #goodtogojamaicanrestaurant #goodtogojamaica #couplestime https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ7TbpupGG6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Can’t wait to go camping!

One of the most important considerations for camping is what to wear. Dressing for camping doesn’t have to be complex. So I’m going to break down what camping clothes to pack for your next trip here: https://hergrandlife.com/34867. I share some of our favorites plus ideas for the best clothes for various camping activities. We discuss what to wear in the tent (a very popular question lol) and ideas for how to pack/store your camping clothes too. 

Enjoy!
