Ever since baby number two came along, life’s been, well, a little more hectic. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change one thing, but motherhood definitely has its challenges. I’d say one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced since giving birth to my first born, Sophie, has been my overall health and fitness routine. Pre-kids,…

The Importance of Your Child’s Gut Health
As mothers, we spend almost every waking moment worrying about our children. Are they sick, did they eat enough, are they hurting, did they sleep enough, are they falling behind, are they supposed to know all their colors by now, did they have too much sugar, are they okay?! I can’t promise that there will…
It’s Time to Get Healthy!
I’ll admit, I never thought I was the “cleanse” type of gal. I pretty much eat what I want, and I’m not on a strict exercise regimen, due to the kids, so I just exercise when I can. Let’s be real though, my workouts consist of pushing the kids around the neighborhood in their favorite…
Butterflies, Boobs, And Body Butter
5 years ago, I was living the life of my dreams…I was married to an amazing man, had two beautiful young boys, Ethan was 5 years old and Brady still a baby. I was a stay at home mom living in a sleepy little beach town in a big gorgeous house that I had dreams…
We Survived The Flu
This year, so many people were affected somehow by the dreaded flu. For us, it was the night of Christmas when Sophie started getting sick. My poor baby could not stop throwing up, so we knew she caught the flu. Watching my little two year old girl go through that was so incredibly sad. I…
Girls Night In!
I’ll be honest, it’s been awhile since I’ve hosted a girls night at the house. We usually meet up at a restaurant or lounge for a mid-week happy hour, once in a blue moon when our hubby’s can watch the kids. I decided it was time to host a fun girls night in this week,…
February H2O Challenge
Sometimes it is the simplest things that are the most difficult. I am completely guilty about not drinking enough water every day, mostly because I “coffee it up” until it’s time for vino! Yup, mom life at its finest. I’m going to make a change this month and do something good for my body, especially…
The Strong Mamas Workbook
For those who have experienced a miscarriage, it can be one of the most challenging and emotional times of your life. Seeking comfort and support from loved ones is just one way to get through such a traumatic event, but ultimately, finding the strength within is the key to overcoming and moving forward. If you…

Join Sleepless Mom and MAM this #GivingTuesday in support of the UN Foundation’s Shot@Life. This amazing foundation helps to give lifesaving immunizations to children all over the…
Treating A Fever
When it comes to treating a fever (yours, or your kids!), there’s an abundance of over the counter (OTC) products available, but there are actually only two active ingredients that you need to consider: Acetaminophen (brand name Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (brand names Motrin and Advil). Every other “fever reducer” just contains a variation of one…
