During our chat, I learned so many things from the effects of modifiable risk factors, the importance of early detection and how genetics plays a major role in …
***Make sure to consult with your doctor before you try any of the advice below. I had a very low-risk pregnancy and exercised consistently leading up to pregnancy.

Since day 1 baby CJ came out eyes wide open! He is ready to party at all times and we often joke that exercise may be the reason he is hyper-aware at such a young age. Throughout our nine months together I stuck to my regular fitness regimen and as things got bigger and rounder and weirder, I adapted my …
To round out National Breastfeeding Month, I wanted to share some great information on maintaining a nutritious diet and the benefits of breastfeeding! When I first started thinking about conceiving, I also started to think about “The Fourth Trimester”, AKA postpartum life and breastfeeding.

Well, the first two weeks are behind us and I am slowly finding my way to a “new normal”. We have our evenings down pat, but when I feel like I have conquered the day, we usually get thrown a curveball. I am still learning as I go, and we have our good days and days that are not so …

*** If pregnant or breastfeeding, always consult with your physician before using a new product! All of these products were cleared by my doctor in the second trimester.

The joys of pregnancy: nausea, weight gain and heartburn come in fast and furious towards the third trimester. Something I truly wasn’t ready for. I had a relatively easy and enjoyable pregnancy, but as the heartburn and low back pain …
I cannot believe we only have 56 days until our predicted “due date” which means we only have a few more weeks to prepare. This journey has had so many up’s and downs and I truly feel it has already been the biggest mental test of my life. I have had to adapt to a lot of physical and mental …
Now that the second trimester is already under my belt and I am well into my third, I have to tell you, I feel like I am living in a completely new body. The jump from month five to seven has been the most dramatic in change and I am completely in awe of the tiny life throwing snap kicks …

Throughout my pregnancy, I have talked to my doctor, pregnancy support groups, friends and trusted my gut. When I eat, I make sure to put my …
Women are superheroes! All women, PERIOD. As plenty of my friends are making the transition to motherhood I am always asking for advice and honesty about the struggle. Every type of mom deals with some kind of hardship. The full-time stay at home mom never gets a break. The work is just as hard and the cycle can seem never-ending. …
