Posted in Just For You on 14. Jan, 2010
As a mom, it seems I am surrounded by a never ending to-do list. Laundry, dishes, meals, general clean-up, organizing projects, phone calls… the list goes on and on.

Yoga – Wonderful for Moms
Posted in Take a Deep Breath, Your Health on 12. Jan, 2010
I recently started yoga, and I absolutely love it. I find myself sitting up straighter, feeling more attractive, and seem to be more relaxed lately. It was surprisingly easy to get into; all I did was buy a DVD, a mat, and yoga pants. I do the DVD for about 30 minutes (I’ll eventually build up to the 50 minute routine, but want to go slow at first), and I feel refreshed and energized afterwards. Yoga is awesome!
Attainable New Year’s Resolutions
Posted in Just For You, Take a Deep Breath on 01. Jan, 2010
Happy New Year! Today marks a day of new beginnings, plans for the coming year, and New Year’s Resolutions for many folks. I get excited when I think about my New Year’s Resolutions, since it gives me some extra motivation to tackle things I’ve put on the back burner throughout the year. However, as much as I enjoy making New Year’s Resolutions, I often have a hard time sticking to them.
Want to be a Good Host? – Make Your Guests Feel Welcome!
Posted in Take a Deep Breath, Your Home on 30. Dec, 2009
I love having people over. One thing I try and remember is that being a good host is about so much more than mini-quiches, a spotless house, or having some amazing craft for all of the kids to do. Being a good host is about making people feel comfortable in your house.

It’s Christmastime! Everywhere we look there are people out Christmas shopping, going to parties, and preparing for the holidays. There is decorating to be done, cookies to be made, and presents to be wrapped. It seems that with this special time of year comes an increased pace to our daily lives, which can sometimes bring stress.
Breastfeeding? Here’s a Drink for You
Posted in Just For You, Pregnancy, Your Health on 18. Dec, 2009
One of the things that surprised me about breastfeeding was just how thirsty it made me! I was prepared to feel extra hungry and tired, but didn’t expect to be toting around a huge water bottle everywhere.
Break the Bad Habits – Form the Good
Posted in Just For You on 11. Dec, 2009
I recently decided that I’m going to commit to doing my Pilates DVD for 30 minutes each day at nap time. I’ve been frustrated the past few weeks because it seems that somehow, I’ve let exercise fall off of my priority list. Instead of pulling out the exercise DVD at nap time, I’ve been pulling [...]
Struggle With Your Temper? You’re Not Alone!
Posted in Infants, Just For You, Parenting, Relationships, Toddlers & Preschoolers on 09. Dec, 2009
We all have those moments. Whether it’s sleep deprivation, too much on our plates, or a particularly rough moment during the day – we find ourselves frustrated and angry. Having little kids can be hard sometimes, and we moms are only human. Whether you work outside of the home and have to juggle all sorts of priorities, or are a stay-at-home mom who feels swamped by motherhood – it can be challenging sometimes. Temper tantrums out in public, battles of the will over broccoli, and the pressure of always being “on” are enough to make most people frazzled at best.
