After I had my baby, I started searching for exercises to heal your abs and how to heal Diastasis Recti. These tips will show how to bring abs back together after pregnancy.
Diastasis Recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles. Most commonly occurs as a result of pregnancy.
Before I was pregnant, I had no idea how my body was going to change to bring in this little person into the world. Once she was here, I felt like I had to learn how to be me again. I found out that during pregnancy my body had developed Diastasis Recti.
Some women are just prone to this abdominal separation, but there are some factors that increase the likelihood of it occurring:read more
One of my favorite memories of the holidays is having a party where you all bake the best goodies to share. I would make all these tins full of goodies and give them to co-workers, neighbors and friends. It is an easy way to show people you are thinking about them without having a spend a whole lot of money during the holiday season.
You can share these goodies with other Trim Healthy Mamas or you can show how easy it is to follow the plan and eat such tasty foods!
Here is a list of the best Trim and Healthy Goodies to Swap at your holiday party!
Fudge is a must at a holiday goodie swap. One of my favorite memories is eating my grandmother’s fudge and divinity at her house on Christmas. That fudge was obviously not Trim or Healthy.
Thankfully, Trim Healthy Mamas can enjoy these fudge recipes this holiday while not packing on any pounds and enjoying the holiday season.
This first fudge is a cream cheese fridge fudge! It is sure to satisfy any fudgy creamy cravings you may have.
Cookies are the quintessential part of a Christmas Goodie Swap Party! Trim Healthy Mama do not fear! There are plenty of cookies that are healthy and will keep you Trim!
No Bake Fudgy Cookiesare one of my favorite cookie ever! So easy and so yummy too! I love the shredded coconut in these as well. You could add some almond slivers to make it extra special!

and everyone is making lists for toys and gifts to get their kids. Here is a list of my pick of Craft Kits that I know would be so much fun for the little toddler in your family.
These Craft kits are also good for learning and creativity. So instead of a new toy, think about getting your toddler some art supplies or one of these all in one craft kits. I know Aidalyn loves working on crafts on a rainy day or when we are having a slow morning.
1). Sticky Mosaics:
You can purchase here:
These mosaic sticky crafts are great for matching shapes and colors, plus following simple directions. You end with a pretty colorful piece of art that you can hang on a wall. They are sturdy and really a great activity! Aidalyn loves these so much!
2) Do a Dot Markers
Purchase here:
I’m not sure a toddler’s art supplies can be complete without Do-A-Dot markers. They are so wonderful! Aidalyn loves the Do A Dot Art Markers and I love that she can play with them virtually mess free! We bought a coloring book to go with the markers:Tales of the Mermaid Do-a-Dot Creative Activity BookThe colors are so pretty and bold. They also are labeled really well for sight word recognition.
3) Paper Bag Puppets
Purchase here:
Creating Paper Bag animal puppets is a wonderful activity for language development and following directions. I can just see Aidalyn telling wild, imaginative stories using the paper bag puppets. So much fun to decorate and put them together, then you can play for hours after.
4) Tissue Art
Purchase here:
We bought this for Aidalyn and I think her favorite part is putting on the googly eyes. She loved the tissue art so much, I bought just a pack of tissue to play with and contact paper.
5) Giant Busy Box
Purchase here:
This set is much larger and has 16 activities in one box. Tons of learning opportunities. If you wanted an all in one set, this would be the way to go. It’s on sale right now (November) and seems like a great deal!
I hope the toddler in your life is ready to get creative and start exploring the little artist inside.

It’s Christmas Time! This is the best time to create lasting memories for you and your kids. Here are my 5 top Christmas Activities for making this Christmas season special.
Tip Junkie has a great idea for your family! Each day you take off an ornament and you do an activities on the back. This is our Advent Christmas Tree. I used green felt from hobby lobby and cut out the shape of a tree. Then I just used yarn, clothes pins and tape to put everything together.
We are lucky that there is a cute little outdoor church play right down the road from us. They sang Christmas Carols and served hot chocolate and cookies afterwards. It was such a treat last year. What a good reminder of the reason for the season. read more

3 Years after my Water Birth Story
Aidalyn is such a joy. She is so full of energy and and spunk. She is so stubborn and will fight you to the death that her dress is actually a shirt (or vise versa depending on her mood). I think she would be a great lawyer.
