6 Healthy Lifestyle Changes for Busy Moms

6 Healthy Lifestyle Changes for Busy Moms

Last year as I started to come out of the baby fog and coma I had been in for six years, I set out some heart healthy goals for myself. I’m partnering with Henry Ford Health System for this post. Becoming a family of five in 2017 was mentally and physically exhausting for me…and I hadn’t really slept, ever, since becoming a mom in 2012. So I ... Read More

Mom Friends

Mom Friends

Making friends once you are a mom is HARD. And while I feel terribly unqualified to talk about this, I think it’s important that we do. I’m not good at making friends. Yup. I said it! I’ve always been the type of person that just had a 2-3 close friends. I was always friendly to everyone, and knew a lot of people, but only had a handful of ... Read More

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
