Lose the Baby Weight – 10 Easy Tips
Posted in Pregnancy, Your Health on 14. Oct, 2009
I’ve always been jealous that men are able to have children without handing their bodies over for ten months (or longer, if you count nursing). They find out they’re expecting a baby, and life pretty much stays the same – and so do their bodies. We moms, on the other hand, don’t have it so easy.

If I’m addicted to chocolate, could I switch to being an elliptical junkie instead?

Feeling Like Yourself Again
Posted in Take a Deep Breath on 07. Sep, 2009
We’ve all been there. The perpetual ponytail, the sweats, and the deer-in-the-headlights expression that comes with no sleep. It’s hard being a mom, and even harder when you feel like just a mom. Somewhere, in the midst of dirty diapers, grocery shopping with a toddler, and playing Candy Land for the umpteenth time… is you. [...]
