Welcome to The Workout Mama!
I’m Tamara. A wife, homeschooling mom of four, and have been writing on this little space on the internet off and on since 2013. What began as a place to document motherhood and fitness has grown alongside our family over the years. Today, you’ll find encouragement for faith, homeschooling, and healthy living, along with honest reflections on the joys and challenges of everyday life. My hope is that this little corner of the internet points women to Christ and encourages them to pursue faithfulness in the ordinary moments.
Whether you found The Workout Mama while searching for homeschool curriculum, Arizona ESA information, Babywise routines, or biblical encouragement, I hope you’ll find something here that serves your family well.

Starting Fresh
After more than a decade of blogging, I’m starting fresh. In this post, I share why I stepped away from writing, what has changed over the years, and why I’m excited to begin creating again. From homeschooling and healthy living to faith and everyday life, this new season of The Workout Mama looks a little different but I’m so glad you’re here.

The Heart Behind This Blog
If you’d like to get to know me a little better, these are some of the most personal posts I’ve written. They share the defining chapters of my life, the lessons God has taught me along the way, and the experiences that have shaped both my family and this blog.
So grab a cup of coffee—or if you’re like me, a glass of iced tea—and stay awhile.
Why I Stopped Teaching “Christian” Yoga
How reading Scripture transformed my understanding and led me to leave behind something I once passionately pursued.
The Girl Behind The Blog
I never imagined that my twenties would include learning to walk again. Through uncertainty, weakness, and a long recovery, God taught me lessons about dependence and hope.
Postpartum Depression and Anxiety
After the birth of my second child, I found myself struggling in ways I never expected. This is the story of navigating postpartum depression and anxiety and experiencing God’s faithfulness in the midst of one of the most difficult seasons of motherhood.
