Guest Blog! Eating for Energy During Pregnancy by Rachel Lerner, HHC, CNC, FNC

Believe it or not, the foods we eat can either increase or decrease our energy.

Confessions of a First Time Aunt: Part IV

With only two months to go until the birth of my nephew, I was becoming increasingly nervous about the actual labor while my sister was becoming increasingly more laid back.

Confessions of a First Time Aunt: Part III

…..a BOY!
The second my sister said boy, I blurted out, “Oh nooooooo!”  Thankfully, my sister was able to see the humor in my response, which was really geared toward myself than toward her. You see, I’m girly to the max. I love girly things, like sequins and ruffles and nail polish and the color pink. [...]

My sister had not yet found out the [...]

Thanks, Gisele.

Supermodel Gisele Bunchden recently did an interview with VOGUE magazine and confirmed all of our worst fears: she’s perfect. Not only is the new Mom already back to sporting her pre-pregnancy figure, but she stayed in shape during her pregnancy (gaining only 30 pounds total) by doing Kung Fu and yoga 3 days a week [...]

The Little Things

A wise person once said, “Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think that there are no little things.” As women and as mothers, we know that little things can make a big difference.  A little baby, for example, is so small and sweet yet makes an [...]

Shake It Up

When you’re pregnant, it can be challenging to muster up enough energy to tie your shoes, nevermind getting fully dressed in your gym clothes and proceeding with a real workout.  However, keeping your energy up is exactly what you must do if you want to avoid getting stuck in a rut!

Forming Healthy Habits

All the recent talk about making (and keeping) resolutions parlays itself into your goals as a new mother. It’s natural to set goals as to what kind of parent we want to be, what type of environments in which we will raise our children, and what values our children should embrace as they grow. While [...]
