Mommy Corner Monday: Enjoy Being a Mommy

-
Today for this post I am talking to the mommies to be and the recent new mommies. All I have heard since the birth of my first son was “I know you can't wait to have your baby so you can get your body back”. And two years later it is still the same thing, “I know you can't want to have your body and to get a snap back.” How can I worry about what my body looks like at a time like this?!?!

Your focus should be on the baby. Not about when you're going to get back into the gym to get back the figure you had pre baby. You should take the time to enjoy this gift that you received the joy of a new life that you created.

My advice to the new mommies out there is to enjoy this time with your new baby. Enjoy bonding with your baby, enjoy getting to know your baby, just enjoy your baby, just enjoy being a mommy, enjoy and relish in the fact that your body just gave birth to a new life. Don't just rush back into the gym until your six week check up and you are cleared by your doctor to return to normal activities. Going back before time you can risk injuring yourself and set your heal time back even further than you were hoping or even thought. Also, lay off the waist trainer until after your doctor gives you the ok to do so. Unless, you have a C-section then they usually give you something at the hospital that looks like a waist trainer to protect your stomach to keep your uterus from protruding and sitting on your stitches after having your baby. Just enjoy those moments and the time will come to get back in the gym and get your body back.

Just enjoy being and everything will fall back into place. With my first son I didn't feel the need to start working out until he was about 4 months and something clicked like ok it's time to start doing something for you to get back in shape. So, I started walking on the treadmill from time to time. And when I returned to work I walked everywhere and took the stairs and started doing yoga. With my second son it didn't click until he was about 6 months it took longer with the second child because the cold weather set in an getting motivated was harder. Something just clicks and you're like it's time.

I know every body is different and every mother is different I’m just saying to enjoy it  because this time is going to fly by so fast. 

 Until next time loves! Also, I put this weeks video up in the post as well. Enjoy!

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm...Wait! Can We Talk?

Can we talk for a second? So, I just so happened to be on  Pinterest  and this picture of a lip balm crossed my screen. It was the  Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm  in Coconut & Hibiscus and African Water Mint & Ginger. Pause. I must get it... both flavors... I then check on Target & Walmart to see if I can get it in store. Yes, I can. I purchased it from my local Walmart and couldn't be any happier. Open it up apply it to my lips. What is that smell? The taste... What the heck is in this lip balm? Can I be honest for a second? I don't like it. Ok, don't get the pitch forks out just yet. I'm a Shea Moisture fanatic. Shea Moisture is always my go to, my wishlist, my it gets me every time Walgreen's has a bogo sale. But, here me out for a second. I don't like it for the following two reasons, it smells and tastes like castor oil to me. It has the faint smell of the Coconut & Hibiscus but the smell that overpowers everything else is t

Hello July: Well Wishes and Thoughts

Hello July and loves, I hope everything is well and July is being the best to you. We have officially made it through two birthdays and 4th of July. Bash's birthday was a success. Everyone had a good time. We were able to celebrate Sly's birthday with a impromptu BBQ. I'm a little disappointed that he had to cook on his birthday and not to mention I wasn't able to be much help because I had to work. We were able to enjoy everyone's company in coming together to celebrate life's moments and make memories. We literally drank for 5 days straight! Talk about a good time! Fourth of July was good because I got to see it through the eyes of my son who was finally old enough to see fireworks. He truly enjoyed it and I enjoyed seeing the excitement he had seeing them. July is our "busy" month I like to call it because it is a birthday every week and a party to celebrate every weekend. I was a little upset with myself because I didn't post anythi

Hello September

Hey Loves,  I do hope that everything is well with you all.  I hope your September is starting out well and your August ended the way you needed it to. August for me was definitely a very busy month. It started with a world wind of things going on. We were able to see and spend time with family which is always plus in my book and travel. Stories about that to come later. The start of September has been productive. I've started to throw things away and clean my house trying to prepare for the winter months to come. I'm not ready for it to get cold but it's coming. We celebrate my brother and nieces birthday. I was even enlisted to make Jell-O shots. That will be up on the channel for Cocktail Friday's this month. I'm glad Mercury is out of retrograde because maybe now I can get some things accomplished. For a brief period of time I felt like I couldn't complete anything. I am currently sitting on 6 videos that I need to edit to get up on the channel so,
