5 dvd’s to help get back in shape after baby
April 2nd, 2008 / 1 Comment » / by S. Elie
My son will be 16 weeks old tomorrow, time sure does fly by. Too bad the pounds don’t drop just as fast! Sure the pounds just fell off the first month but now I’m teetering on 15lbs over what I would like to be. So before I give up and just call Final Inches, I decided that I would take it up a notch and do a little bit more than the thirty on the treadmill everyday.
58% of normal-weight women who gain the recommended amount of weight during their pregnancy retain 4 pounds or less. - Pregnancy Magazine
Here are just a few DVD’s I found that may just melt those last pounds away.
Fit + Giggles ($27)
fit+giggles was born to meet the challenge of new Moms juggling the duties of caring for a new baby with the need to get back into pre-baby shape. As a Mom your body is required to move in new and different ways, causing stress and strain on your joints and muscles. As two new Moms ourselves, we’ve experienced the same pain and understand how a sore and tired body can make caring for a new baby more challenging. The functional exercises we’ve included in this postnatal workout helped alleviate our pain while increasing our energy level and we wanted to share them with you. Uniquely designed to incorporate your precious new baby into the workout, you’ll see how exercise time becomes bonding time.
Yoga Ma Baby Ga - Mama & Me Postnatal Yoga ($21.99)
“Yoga Ma Baby Ga” is an interactive mom and baby yoga experience; unique picture-in-picture format allows mom to follow postnatal yoga routine in lower corner of screen AT THE SAME TIME baby participates or watches engaging images and enriching music by her side.

Busy moms will love these 5 and 10 minute time saving segments. Leisa Hart along with other moms, offers intensity variations so that you can start out light and work your way up to a challenge when you’re ready. This innovative method helped Leisa get back in top shape after both her pregnancies. FitMama Postnatal Workout follows the guidelines of the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists.
Lindsay Brin’s Postnatal Boot Camp with Moms Into Fitness ($18.95)
AS SEEN IN PREGNANCY and PREGNANCY & NEWBORN. The only DVD of its kind with over 2 hours of exercises including 10-10 minute weight loss workouts!

is it selfish?
February 22nd, 2008 / No Comments » / by S. Elie
On Thursday my husband and I went to pick up our weekly dinners from Super Suppers. Have you heard of them, it’s really great they prepare your meals for you and all you have to do is cook them? Perfect for any family that is always on the go and wants to eat healthy then greasy fast food.
I was waiting by the car and feeding the baby when we were approached by a guy, can’t say if he was homeless or not, but he’s clothes were clean. He asked me for some money, and I said I didn’t have any cash. As he walked away he said, “Fine be selfish then.”
<!–more–>
I was appalled.
How is it selfish for not wanting to give away the money I worked hard for? I don’t know him. Who’s to say he isn’t going to throw the money away on cigarettes or alcohol. I don’t know what his situation was, but my situation is that I have two kids to feed, a mortgage to pay for and a car payment to make. I don’t have money to spare and I shouldn’t feel obligated just because you ask.
It’s not selfish.
Every year I do what I can to help, donating clothes and toys my children out grow. Giving away clothes that I can no longer wear. Dropping off food during food drives. I do my part the best way I can.
I think people are becoming way to liberal they way they ask for money and donations. A couple of years ago my husband was approached by a man asking for $20. During a cold winter in Seattle my cousin gave his old leather jacket to a homeless man on the street and another guy asked for the one off his back.
It’s not selfish to keep your money. It’s rude for someone to EXPECT you to give it away.
Spanx, are you wearing them?
February 22nd, 2008 / 3 Comments » / by S. Elie
I have to be honest I never even heard of Spanx until just a couple of months ago. Jessica Alba mentioned she wore them on the Tyra Banks show. So now I have found myself scouring the internet to find some for myself. I believe Spanx could be the answer to my unwanted post partum bump.
In case you’re just as clueless as I am Spanx are supreme body shapers designed to fit under the tightest of clothes. To give you a smooth, stress free figure.
If you live in LA and listen to Ryan Seacrest on 102.7 KIIS FM then you would have heard him talk about Spanx for the last couple of days. The topic came up when he asked his listening audience what questions he should ask the stars on the red carpet this Sunday at the Oscars.

say goodbye to stained clothes and get dabibs
January 23rd, 2008 / No Comments » / by S. Elie
Drool control was impossible with my daughter she was always wearing a bib. I would go through at least five a day which made every day laundry day. I tried several different types of bibs but nothing could with stand her drips, drops and dribbles. I also found it increasingly difficult to find bibs with a plastic barrier to prevent leaks from soaking though to her shirts. I shopped at Target and other chains to find bibs with plastic backs but it was hard to find something cute.
I want to tell you about a great new bib that should be on every mom’s wish list. DaBib bibs are like no other. You can say goodbye to stained clothes and endless laundering these bibs keep your baby covered. DaBib’s unique Scrunch collar keeps your babies neck clean and dry and the waterproof back protects her cute clothes.
get organized: find the right mom planner for you

Product Review: Mom planners by Go Mom!, Bizzi2Go, momAgenda,
truly mom
It´s that time of year again; time to go shopping for next year’s calendar. This year why don´t you try a calendar or planner designed specifically for moms. I was given an opportunity to review four 2008 mom calendars the Bizzi2Go Planner, Go Mom! Organizer, momAgenda desktop calendar and the truly mom organizer. All of which have their own unique features aside from the basic calendar. I am sure you will find one that fits your needs.
Go Mom! Running Mate Undated by Day Runner
The Go Mom! Organizer was created by a busy mom, Molly Gold of three after she became a stay-at-home mom. She searched for the perfect calendar for years without success so decided to create her own. She launched the Go Mom! in 2000 and signed a partnership with Mead Westvaco Consumer of Office products in 2004. You can find the Go Mom! organizer at your local Target, Staples and/or Office Max. There are 3 different calendar options in the line:
Go Mom! Classic Undated Organizer (size 5 ½” x 8 ½”)
Go Mom! Running Mate Undated Organizer (size 3 ¾” x 6 ¾”)
Go Mom! Dated Appointment Book (can only be found in select Staples stores)
Calendar
The calendar comes with both an undated monthly and weekly view so you can start using the calendar any time of the year. Each week provides a place to plan meals as well as a section just for mom.
There are 2 other options available in the line, a larger undated organizer and a dated appointment book.
