So I’ve posted before that I’m in love with Stroller Strides, and now, one of my instructors is offering an amazing discount to local Preemie Moms and for those ANYWHERE that want to try it online through Active WoMOM!!  I’m telling you, Kristin is motivating and after two kids, has amazing abs (and every other part of her body) after doing this program herself. view full post »

WHAT?  My son is two today?  You must have me mistaken with another mom, didn’t he just get here?  Wasn’t I just in the NICU?  It seems the mommy brain that I’ve been experiencing turned into mommy amnesia, my how the time has flown by.  I say that, but there were times where it seemed to drag…and that of course is even after the NICU!! view full post »
