Lindsey is a full-time mother to Heidianne born in 2007, Korben born in 2009, and Brielle born in 2011. (Eventful, would be an appropriate word to describe the days). She met her husband in 2003 at Northern Illinois University and has been married since 2007. Lindsey is a native of the Chicago-suburbs, but since 2006 resides in Central IL on a gorgeous chunk of acreage that she calls home! She is a HUGE advocate for healthy living, trying to make the switch to non-processed foods and self-sufficient living. She enjoys sharing her lifestyle tips with other mamas (& non-mamas). While she views herself as a “work-in-progress”, she and her husband compete in the Warrior Dash annually and has ever-expanding fitness goals including competing in a figure competition and running a half-marathon. Bottom line, she’s a real mama who cares for her kids, house, hubby, works 24 hours a week and STILL finds time to focus on being a real FIT mama. Her go to phrase in times of good and bad, "The best is yet to come!"
