Hello, and nice to meet you all! Allow me to introduce myself...

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello fellow Steemians!

My name is Carli, aka OneFitMom, and I live in beautiful Vancouver BC.

I'm a former naval officer (yes, for real) and athlete turned stay-at-home-mom to two very spirited boys. In between the chaos of child-rearing and homeschooling, I also run a small parenting consulting company, called "Eat. Sleep. Potty." My superpower is helping parents of young children tackle the three biggest challenges of early childhood, which (you guessed it) are: eating, sleeping, and potty training.

Suffice to say, my kids are super eaters, sleepers and potty-ers, but don't worry -- we're far from perfect over here, and I have a pretty good sense of humour about all my parenting f@%#-ups! So, in between informative "how-to's," expect to hear lots about the good, the bad and the downright hilarious happenings in our crazy household.

My handle, OneFitMom, comes from the name of the popular blog that I started when I was pregnant with my first son. It began as a place for me to document my pregnancy as a Crossfitter, in a time when it was still very much frowned upon for women to exercise intensely during pregnancy. I broke down barriers and challenged conventional wisdom, and I'm proud to say that I was a pioneer in this arena. OneFitMom evolved into a blog about all things fitness, health, nutrition and parenting. But alas, after my second son was born, I got too busy parenting... to blog about parenting :)

Lately I've been feeling the urge to write again, so here I am, thanks to the enthusiastic referral of my brother @jaybird. I'm really excited to learn more about cryptocurrency from this great community, and I hope that I can contribute in kind, by sharing my expertise in parenting, healthy eating, fitness, and other topics.

Living in Vancouver, naturally I love spending time outdoors: cycling, hiking, snowshoeing, and generally making the most of our beautiful surroundings. I am trying to instil this love of outdoors in my children.

Fantastic! I could see this platform being a great place for homeschoolers to connect.

Not much feels better than doing barbell deadlifts! Nice work.

I deadlifted my second baby out, lol. Hit a PR, and gave birth 8 hours later.
