Last Day of the Year

Posted on 31st | Posted by Emilie in General

Wow, I can’t believe 2007 is almost over. What a year it has been! Having a baby truly has changed everything. As I watch all the dieting commercials and hear about New Year’s Resolutions, I wonder what I should focus on this year. I know many people will say “Act Now” […]

Walk Walk Walk

Posted on 20th | Posted by Emilie in Mom, Exercise, Pregnancy

One of the easiest ways to exercise is to walk. It’s good for pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and motherhood. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other! No equipment needed!
I’ll have to admit, I wasn’t in to walking that much pre-pregnancy. But toward the end of my […]

Posted on 18th | Posted by Emilie in Reviews, Baby, General, Mom

I recently found this great website to order baby and mom stuff. It’s Mom4Life. What attracted me to the site is that it is run by a mom so she can stay home with her kids, something I would love to do. On top of it, all the products are mom-invented. […]

So, you’ve decided to get pregnant.  You know that it may take awhile to conceive.  But hey, practice makes perfect right?  ☺  What should you do to prepare your body in the mean time?  If you aren’t doing so already, start a regular workout routine.  If you are already working out, consider beefing it up […]
