Nursing Must-Haves

IMG_6064

In celebration of August being National Breastfeeding Awareness Month I’ve partnered with Walmart and Rewardstyle to bring you my breastfeeding journey and share products I highly recommend for nursing moms. Walmart will be supporting this national event with deals on breast feeding and feeding items.

You would think that by now, as a mom of three, I would be an expert on all things baby. To your surprise (and mine) It’s been an interesting journey this time around.  Starting over after 8 years felt like I was experiencing it for the very first time. 

When I gave birth to my first and second daughter I wasn’t able to nurse. My body didn’t produce any milk. I tried for weeks and nothing.. so after a while I gave up. One thing I knew for sure was that if/when I got pregnant again I was going to be prepared with all the things that would potentially help me produce milk. Below are some which I found made a world of a difference.

Fitness Must-Have's

DSC00661

Ever since getting back to the gym I have realized how much more energy I have and how much more I enjoy life, living and helping others do the same. For a second (and by second I mean months) I forgot the real connection I have with you guys. The fact that many of you out there come here to my blog to learn new things, to escape from your crazy lives or just to be plain nosy haha. Either way, you guys are here and I thank you for that.

It took awhile for me to get where I am today and I'm actually happy it did. It gave me enough time to fully heal from my third cesarian and time to enjoy a whole year with my boy, baby James. That time of me being at home ALL THE TIME was one I will never forget. I got to learn so much about my baby. Things that I know have I not been there with him to experience it, I wouldn't have known. & this is why, ladies and germs* I always say "everything happens for a reason".

It's almost like I got my mojo back. 

In todays post (warning* might be a lengthy one) I will be sharing some pro's and con's of getting back into the gym flow and some of my current favorite fitness related things.

Sunday Brunch at Marché Maman

As I sit down in this local cafe on a beautiful Sunday morning, dipping my chocolate croissant in my velvety cappuccino.. I think of a time when we all visited Maman in Greenpoint a few months back.

Mientras me siento en este cafe local este hermoso domingo por la mañana, mojando mi croissant en mi capuchino. Pensé en aquel momento donde todos visitamos a Maman en Greenpoint unos meses atrás.
