Being a new mom is a very conflicted time, a time when you are elated for your beautiful new baby, trapped at home, reorganizing the way you do everything and a HUGE struggle to get your pre pregnancy body back…Well if you want it you can have it. My story is, I had #3 baby boys in 4 years!!!
Thank you for having me at Modern Mom...I certainly know the struggles and rewards of being a mom these days. I have had my own business all my life and have three teenage boys, 17, 14, and 13. They are my joy and the death of me as I am sure you can all understand.
