About!

Hi there, I'm Natasha and that dashing gentlemen beside me is my sweet husband, Anthony! 

We are coffee addicts, southern dwelling, early thirty-somethings, parents of soon-to-be five little chicks. I'm a southern bell by birth while Anthony, is a true Italian New Yorker. Together, and our ever growing family, we make up The Speckled Nest. 

While I'm a much more relaxed and reserved person, life with Anthony is a never ending adventure. With his loud New York antics and Italian charm, there is never a dull moment! Specially with raising our brood, two crazy pups and renovating our house in North Carolina. 

We've always been passionate about sharing our heart and story with everyone, including strangers. Sounds totally weird right? But owning our own story honestly, courageously and openly is probably the bravest thing anyone could do. 

Anthony is returning to the stage of professional power lifting after almost a years hiatus due to a complete rupture of the bicep tendon and surgery to reattach it to his left arm. 

Mean while, I have never stepped one foot inside a gym let a lone trained for anything in my life. I've always dealt with self-esteem and weight issues, so I really wanted to make a complete change of my lifestyle. Which means stepping out of my comfort zone and training to compete in a PW competition, Fall of 2020.  

I wanted a place where I could help and inspire others as well as share bits and pieces of our day to day life, and DIY projects. I hope that in some way I can help, teach, lend an idea or even become a friend! :)
