Fitness for women is different than fitness for men. Hence why I talk about health and wellness for moms and not so much for dads. A lot of that has to do with genetics, body structure, etc. but there is a definite difference. That’s not to say that there aren’t universal fitness tips out there, but as women, we do need to be mindful. Likewise, what works for one woman isn’t always going to work for every woman. Me, for example, I’m not the most coordinated person out there and I’m not a huge fan of running. I do, however, enjoy Pilates, swimming, walking, hiking, and a few other things. My mom loves bike riding while I’m lucky if I can stay on the bike…

Motivation is key in life. If you have motivation, you’ll keep pursuing your goals- whatever they might be. But sometimes it’s easy to lose that motivation.

Most homes are going to have some amount of clutter. It happens. It doesn’t make you a bad homemaker and it doesn’t mean that your house is a mess. Clutter happens.

That being said, here are 10 commonly believed lies about pregnancy along with one incredible truth.
