Live Your Best Mom Life – 5 Tips On How To Start

Collectively as a group of moms, we all want to know how to live our best mom life.  I just said the other day in an Instagram video that I was totally exhausted and “moming hard.”  I recognize this is not a real phrase (at least I don’t think so) but it did make me realize that being a mom is HARD some days.  This term that just slipped out of my mouth should be in the dictionary.

Moming Hard

noun (mum-ing hard)

1.) the feeling a mother feels after endless sleepless nights,

laundry loads you’ve done three times because mold has now formed,

while spit up and yesterday’s makeup is on you.

Something like that… Does anyone agree?

Belly Bandit Wrap – What Is It?

If you haven’t heard of the Belly Bandit Wrap, you MUST try it out!  Here is exactly why you need a Belly Bandit Wrap…

I heard of it with my first pregnancy and decided after some research it was worth spending the $80.00 on buying to help recover my core area after delivery.  Nothing really prepares you for what exactly your body will look like after a baby.  Your skin is like jelly, it’s loose and jiggly and it just continues to stay on the softer side after having kids.

Unfortunately for me, my belly bandit with my first pregnancy was in my hospital bag that got stolen when our car got broken into the night my water broke.  That’s an interesting story.  Feel free to read about it in my birth story. Due to the situation, I never got the chance to use the wrap during my first postpartum recovery.

Two Years Later

Flash forward two years to my second pregnancy.   I was SO excited to buy this again (at a much more frugal cost thanks to craigslist) and see how it worked in comparison to NOT having used it with my first.

(QUICK TIP: I am very frugal, so I actually found a woman on craigslist who had a bought a belly bandit wrap but couldn’t use it because she had a prolapse.  She let me buy it off of her for $50.00!  A 30.00 savings!  Use your resources around you to save money. Amazon usually carries the original belly bandit for $68.00 as another option to save some money ).

Post Pregnancy 30 Day Detox

Guess what… There is an “I” in Team… and It’s called Teami! The hardest part of post-pregnancy for me as someone who is always in fairly good shape and active was having the jelly-like stomach again and just feeling a little uncomfortable in your skin.  Your body is constantly changing for the first few weeks and for me I was just in a weird in-between stage for clothing sizes.

I wanted to do something that would benefit my body and overall health but wouldn’t be difficult to follow like some of the diets and exercise plans out there that as a mom of two, I just don’t have time for.  That is why I chose a detox!

Then I read about TeamiBlends

Let me give you some background on TeamiBlends if you’re not familiar with them…

This is a great way to rid your body of toxins.  For me, I used this less than a week after having my second baby.  I have had great success with this, particularly in how it made me feel overall and of course the help with the weight loss.
