Eeny meeny miny moe, choose healthy habits to halt a cold Congested sinuses, headaches, coughing, and a sore throat; symptoms of the common cold, also known as a virus. Colds can be caused by many different viruses – hundreds to be sure. And that is why we may never be free of them. The immune system has to first recognize the virus and then neutralize it. If that not…
Life insurance. It’s one of the necessary topics of conversation that a family has to have, but no one wants to talk about. I have even procrastinated just writing this blog about it! We are a one-income family. I stay at home with our kids and my husband works long hours running a busy pub in downtown Toronto. Even with my small income from blogging and the wonderful…
These Canadian beauties pictured above are made up using my friend, Angie Normans’ make up line, Jacha Minerals. Will you look at their lashes? It is really hard. Really hard to find a good, natural mascara. Especially one that is organic and better yet reasonably priced. What I love about Jacha Minerals Mascara is that it gives a clean, non-clumpy fresh lash love look. …
Homeocan has come to the rescue many times this year for us. From teething to cough and colds and flus and most recently my son was complaining of a sore throat and Homeocan sure seemed to nip that in the bud with their new formula Throat Ease. Also one of my twins had the flu over the holidays and taking the kids Flu Buster for day and night was great…

‘Mummy Tummy’ has certainly become a buzz term these days, especially in the world of pregnancy and postpartum. We hope the term hasn’t become cringe-worthy just yet because it is a hugely important topic and we’re happy it’s finally part of the conversation.
If you are hearing the term for the first time right now, you may be thinking we are talking about the extra weight that remains after the birth of a baby, you may even think we are being a bit rude! I promise you, we are not!
When we talk about ‘Mummy Tummy’ we are talking about that stubborn paunch that remains after birth. It is most common during the first year postpartum, but can last for years. This ‘paunch’ is most often caused by weakness in specific core muscles, but it is often mistaken for ‘baby weight’ that won’t go away, no matter how hard you try.
Diastasis Recti = Mummy Tummy
Fixing this Mummy Tummy is much more than just how you look on the outside (although it will flatten the paunch), its about how you feel on the inside. This weakness in the core can cause separation of the rectus abdominis muscles (your six pack), also known as diastasis recti. Diastasis can cause a whole host of other issues such as back pain, weakened pelvic floor, incontinence (peeing a bit when we sneeze!), and hernia. Yikes!
The picture below is a great example of Mummy Tummy. This wonderful woman was 8 months postpartum when she took this photo, it is very clear that there is not much weight left for her to lose but the weakened core created a paunch. Once she closed the separation and strengthened her core, the paunch completely disappeared.
Is it common? You bet! We have a whole support group on Facebook dedicated to it. Can it be prevented in pregnancy and fixed postpartum? Another big YES!
Our ‘Mummy Tummy Tune Up’ program is by far our most popular online program because it is full of the information you need to say bye bye to mummy tummy for good, or even better, prevent it.
An amazing offer for you!
We normally offer this program for $49, and it is worth every bit, but we want to extend a limited time offer that will make this program more accessible to our community. It is important to us that this information gets out there, not only for vanity reasons, but because having a strong core is important for our overall health. It’s going to make life easier as you take on the challenging task of raising active babies!
All you have to do is use the code mummytummydeal on checkout to claim your deal, we will make it available until the end of January!
