That’s Amore! 🇮🇹🍕🍋☕️🥫🍹

We are so beyond grateful for everyone showing up to celebrate our love on Saturday (despite the crazy weather)

The last 14 months have been such a whirlwind for our family (in all the best ways) and it’s a JOY to share it with our people.

Two short months until we say “I do!”

The girl who made us a mom & dad

On March 9th, 2026, little miss Charlie June Ohrenberger made her grand entrance & changed our lives forever

🤍🌷

Hi baby, this is your mom & dad 💛🤍💚

A love letter to ✨movement✨ over the last 38 weeks

When I was 6 weeks pregnant I told : I planned to dance throughout my pregnancy and wanted her aware of it in case I needed modifications etc.
Kelly’s response is something I think of often. While I’m paraphrasing, she said something like: “every mother is behind you & we’re all rooting for you.”
She reassured me that no matter the suggested modification for things or the “shoulds” of pregnancy, that my body will tell me when something doesn’t feel right or I should no longer push. She also told me that there is *literally* more blood pumping through your body when you’re pregnant so I might find that I can lift heavier… a motto I PROMPTLY brought into classes at .bos

Since then (the past 32 weeks or so) I’ve showed up for myself with, what I’ve called “delusional confidence” knowing that the worst thing that could happen if I picked up a scary weight or tried something hard is that I need to drop in weight or stop… and as it turned out, it was pretty rare that I needed to pull back. At Backyard, every single trainer, front desk staff, and fellow client has rooted SO HARD for me in this pregnancy. Taking Kelly’s words to heart, I have really challenged what my body could do and holy s**t are bodies amazing (all bodies - not just pregnant ones!!!!!!!).

I have PRd multiple times in upper body movements and even in the box squat in today’s class (🤭). I’ve continued to do things that felt good and not restricted any movement because I “should.” …and you better believe I kept dancing week after week through it all.

Most importantly, I’ve made myself proud.

I know that every single pregnancy is different and symptoms hit us all differently, but I am so unbelievably grateful for this pregnancy, for MYSELF for showing up, and for my communities for cheering for me along the way.

About 2 weeks to go and letting myself enjoy a little rest before baby is here ✨✨

“locally grown” and loved beyond comprehension

2026 💫

So much good to look forward to this year, and always a little bit of space for growth

Key themes:
💫 becoming: a mom, a wife, and everything else I’m meant to be this year
💫 creativity, crafting, and enjoying the messes and processes along the way
💫 self-care, slowing down, and relaxation - while maintaining friendships and routines in ways I might never have before
💫 capturing life in ways that feel authentic to me (and my general excitement about my wedding photographer 🤭😍)
💫 keeping a home, continuing to host & finding ways to stay organized in the changes that are to come
💫 making the time to celebrate, and enjoying every moment of our record year and all the celebrations that come along with it
💫 and lastly/arguably most importantly: always leaving space for the unexpected, and for growth
