Happy Feet- pamper mission #1
Every woman deserves to be pampered, even if she has to do it herself. So here are some tips/guidelines for a great at home pedicure
*Use a foot file or pumice stone in the shower (or bath) to buff away calluses
*Dry feet thoroughly with towel after shower
*Soften feet with shea butter, coconut oil, or lotion of choice
*Trim nails carefully- don't cut them too short
*Gently push back cuticles - if you don't have the tool for this, use a pencil eraser wrapped in tissue
*Swab nails with polish remover
*Use a nail polish with 1 coat coverage
*Blow dry toes on warm for 2 minutes and then cold for 1 minute
Repeat as needed.
Make sure to show off your cute little toes, maybe in your favorite set of comfy flip flops?

Great Workout site
I recently found this website through an Ad of Facebook.
Their short workout videos explain each exercise clearly. I especially like the fact that the categorized it based on where you are in your pregnancy- by trimester, post-natal & active mom. If you are still trying to conceive, i assume any exercise listed under active mom would be ok to try...
...remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program (Yes I HAD to say that)

Work, Sex, Sleep... There HAS to be more! There is!
Fire up the romance, by getting away from each other! :)
Sometimes, you just can't handle being in his presence for one more second, you eat together, sleep together, make love with only each other. Shower together, sometimes * oh the embarrassment* pee while he's in the bathroom! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I know the feeling ladies, I have the added bonus of also WORKING with my Husband, Laura and Heather also know all about that!
Yeesh, nothing takes the sexy out of romance like no surprises, and nothing to talk about... no joke!
You may ask yourselves, how do I get us out of this rut?
the answer is far more simple than you may think.. you get yourselves out of the rut by simply getting away.... from each other.
Honey I know that you have friends or family out of town who you want to see, but he never can "make the time" which translates roughly into is too lazy to go with you, so awesome!!! Offer him a chance to go with you, and when he refuses accept it gracefully and go anyway!!!!
I know that when you get back, the sex will be great, the conversation will be sparked, and the love that was beginning to dull with OVER POLISHING if you catch my drift, will be back and ready to work! :D
It's nice to have you time, you need to drive int eh car and listen to YOUR favorite radio station, or go to a baby supply depot ( Burlington coat factory, or babies r us) and totally freak out and daydream over your baby's room.
we all know that we have gone to mother hood maternity ( or another store just like it) and tried on the baby bellies, just to see what we would look like pregnant, and realized how freaking perfect we will look as mothers.
So take my advice, and get out of the house, without your spouse. Go do something spontaneous and amazing. :) You know you want to! <3

Why you should eat to concieve!
Many people ask the question, why do I have to eat right to make a baby? people accidentally make babies all the time. Right but if you were the type of people who could accidentally make babies all the time you probably wouldn't be reading this post.
You have the amazing ( Though disheartening sometimes)_ Chance to decide you want to have a baby before you have to have a baby. :) So it only makes sense that you should eat correctly now, to start the habit during pregnancy, which will then carry over in to breast feeding if you are, and then into the baby's solid food intake. Talk about creating a solid foundation huh?
The choices you make today, from buying a new car, to a bag of cheetos vs carrot sticks and ranch will effect the future, that means your baby.. and since I know that all of you want a healthy baby, and a healthier you, I suggest you talk to your doc, about getting referred to a nutritionist, or do what I did, and get What to expect, eating well when you're expecting, read it through, figure out which recipes you can stomach ( Salmon pocket? *GAG*) And which you can't, and go from there.
Don't start adding those extra calories to your diet until you actually recieve the news that your bun is in the oven please. no need to give yourself that extra padding, while it will just make it harder for those of us who are not dainty to conceive.
Anyways, just my 2 cents!! *huggles and good luck as you pee on the stick this month!*
