Slimming Down and Getting My Svelte Back! *Gi...
Published on Friday, August 12, 2011 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats Ericka! I'm less than ten pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight (as in before my 4 year old son was born) and while I'm so proud to have gotten this far, I've definitely hit a plateau. And, of course, my body does not resemble it's former 20-something self. I'm not always as consistent with my workout schedule and while I wor... Read More » -

Inglesina’s New Avio Stroller
Published on Sunday, February 13, 2011 by caryn My husband and I have owned 3 strollers in the 3+ years since we've become parents. The first stroller we owned was a travel system. I chose the system primarily for the car seat which, at the time, was rated as the safest on the market. Unfortunately that meant settling for a mediocre stroller. When my son was a baby, I won a luxury stroller, retiring the for... Read More » -

Celebrity Style for Modern Moms
Published on Sunday, May 23, 2010 by caryn When I was was pregnant with my son, I had no idea which car seat was safest, which baby carrier was most user-friendly and which stroller topped the list for being sturdy and stylish. And what about the necessities v. the niceties? Or when to splurge v. when to save? Because I spent my first trimester overseas and my last two trimesters on bedrest, all of my re... Read More » -

Postpartum Comfort From Earth Mama Angel Baby
Published on Saturday, March 13, 2010 by caryn Having a baby is unlike any other experience. Nothing else on earth compares to the overwhelming joy and intense love that overcomes you. However, the physical act of delivering a baby, regardless of the method, is awkward, painful, and messy. If it weren't for complete and utter amnesia, I may not have endeavored to repeat the experience. When my son was bor... Read More » -

Published on Saturday, February 20, 2010 by caryn I just passed the 8 week post-partum/post-c section mark and am ready to get serious about getting my pre-pregnancy body back (at least some version of it). I've used (and continue to use) body shapers to help provide additional support and give my body some grace as it returns back to a version of it's former self.

H2Organics…Nutrient Enhanced Water for ...
Published on Monday, February 15, 2010 by caryn On most days, water is the only beverage I consume. Several years ago, when I was on a weight loss plan, I learned that I could cut a LOT of calories by sticking to water. I'm usually pretty good about sticking to water, but I do get tired of it. And when I'm "over" water, I usually turn to something that's not great for me. Drinking water also sets a good exa... Read More » -

Diva Defined by Annette
Published on Monday, February 1, 2010 by caryn It's been six weeks and my body is still hanging on to a lot of baby weight. Unlike so many moms I've spoken to, nursing does not help me lose the baby weight. In fact, it wasn't until after I stopped nursing my son that I started losing those last stubborn pounds. I never imagined I'd be excited about wearing shapewear. But it's something I won't leave the ho... Read More » -

All About Mama: Second Base
Published on Sunday, January 24, 2010 by caryn As a mom, I'm very conscious of the clothing I wear. I'm definitely more modest these days, but I have a lot of items from my younger years that are stylish enough to continue wearing. Pregnancy and nursing have changed my body in ways I never imagined, which makes dressing modestly a bit of challenge. One of the fashion tips I held onto during pregnancy and no... Read More » -

All About Mama: HOTmilk Lingerie
Published on Sunday, January 17, 2010 by caryn When I was pregnant with both of my children, I remember people telling me that I glowed. I truly believe that is because I was so happy to be pregnant, (despite the fact that I had some difficulties during both pregnancies) because I didn't feel beautiful at all. I mostly felt big and awkward. Four weeks ago, our baby girl was born...healthy and beautiful and ... Read More » -

All About Baby: Amon Maternity
Published on Monday, January 11, 2010 by caryn *Updated With Promotion* I have to admit that when I look at pictures from my pre-pregnancy years, I get a little nostalgic for the days when I didn't have to worry about bodyshapers. People used to tell me that having a baby changes a woman's body...but I really had no idea until after my son was born that I may never have a flat tummy again. It's been 3 weeks si... Read More » -

All About Baby: Baby Briefcase
Published on Monday, January 4, 2010 by caryn I don't tend to make a lot of New Year's resolutions, but I have two in mind for this year. The first is to lose the baby weight for good. The second? To get organized! For some reason I struggle immensely with organization. Whether it be my fridge, my desk, or my children's important paperwork, organization for me is a struggle. And now that we have 2 chi... Read More » -

Runway Maternity Fashion: Moody Mamas
Published on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 by caryn It's hard to believe that one week ago, I was pregnant and now I'm not. I'm not complaining...at all. It's just the strangest feeling to be pregnant for almost an entire year and then one day you're just not. I am overjoyed at having our baby girl with us. I'm not one who does pregnancy well. I don't glow and generally just feel awkward. Because I think th... Read More » -
