Staying Fit

Whether you are a new mom and want to lose those few extra pregnancy pounds or a mom who just wants to look better for herself, it can be hard when you are always keeping track of the kids. Here are some great ways to stay fit that will work in your crazy mom schedule. 

Energizing Yourself

 Sometimes when we have children we forget about ourselves. We are so busy doing the best we can for our kids, that we lose what is best for ourselves. When it comes to self-esteem and confidence in both your parenting skills and yourself, it is important to take time for yourself. Here are some great tips to energize yourself.

Balancing Stress

 Balancing the stress of being a woman and a mother can be a daunting task for all of us. We have an idealized view of motherhood that does not always match with our realities. Here are my best tips for keeping everything in perspective!  

Celebrate Yourself!

Celebrating ourselves as mothers is a great twist on the “downplay it all and stay demure” theory of womanhood that many of us grew up with. So often everyone is so completely immersed in their own lives (even our best of friends, our children, our spouses, our extended families) that you have to celebrate and share those achievements that matter most to you.

Helping Mom Friends in Need

There are so many times when your friends will need your advice. When juggling work, kids, and family life, it can be hard to dedicate time to a friend in need. But there are many ways you can do it all! After talking to hundreds of moms I have compiled some great tips on how to lend an ear to a friend.

Women's Groups

It is so important as a woman and a mom to keep a solid group of friends around. With a great support group, you will never feel alone in a sea of diapers and kids sporting schedules. Here are some great ideas on how to get your women friends together.
