I’m guessing it’s my postpartum body posts or I’m guessing it’s my postpartum body posts or the ones where I talk about not feeling comfortable in my own skin that pushes people to send these messages. I’m all about connecting and being supportive but don’t connect with me only to try and sell me your products or a program that you just know will work for me. 
I’ve had many of these messages over the years and some women genuinely want to make a connection and I will be your biggest cheerleader but it’s the women that pray on the postpartum moms only to shame them when they say no, thank you is what is giving these companies a bad reputation. 
So please think next time before you send that mom a message because her postpartum body and insecurities is not your money making opportunity.

I know we all think that it can’t happen to us but the truth is; it can and it does. Hoping for some kind of change to keep our kids safe.

Looking to have a date night but not pay the high Looking to have a date night but not pay the high prices that come with going out to a restaurant? #ad @hannafordmkts is helping you save money with their store brand products! I was able to create my husband’s favorite dish: Shrimp Alfredo at home for a fraction of the cost we would have paid if we had gone out. So if you are like me and looking to save money but still have a date night; on your next trip, challenge yourself to try their store brand products like Hannaford, Taste of Inspirations, or Nature's Promise, instead of choosing a national brand product. You might be surprised how much the savings start to add up! Check out my stories for the recipe!

Our Florida vacation recap in less than 15 seconds Our Florida vacation recap in less than 15 seconds. 
The kids had so much fun and I’m happy we took the time out of our crazy life to slow down just a little bit and spend time together.
Already looking forward to planning our next family vacation. Where should we go? Any recommendations for a family that loves to get away but for a mama that gets stressed out super easily? 😂
