Find Me At Midwest Moms!

I truly love sharing the humor and work of raising my family on Midwest Moms. It is such a blessing to know the amazing women who read and participate there. I joined Twitter Moms in January 2009 and am loving every minute of it.

Latest from the Homestead

Fit Mommy Friday: Posture Check

I used to think that slumped shoulders were just a part of Motherhood.

After all, I had a baby carrier to haul and a full diaper bag to schlep, groceries to carry, toddler hands to hold, and of course TLC to give. All the jobs of motherhood seemed to be turning my back into mush and hunching my shoulders forward.

Until I started paying attention to my posture.

In today's Fit Mommy… Continue

At 7:39am on September 24, 2009, kathleen jacobs said…: Thank you I will! I just wish they had something like this when my kids were young-20 years ago it was frowned upon to be a stay at home mom--I just wish I hadn't spent all that time second guessing my decision-- I know that all of the material sacrifices were worth their weight in gold--my almost grown children are a testament to that
