You may remember the article I shared earlier this year titled, Bikini Body Countdown with Advanced Skin and Body Solutions. I shared my truth about my struggle getting back into a bikini after having twins. It was a vulnerable share about disappointment after not achieving my bounce-back body as quickly as I had after my first pregnancy. Fortunately, through trial-and-error and lots of research, I was introduced to my dream-team at Advanced Skin and Body Solutions, who continue making ALL my body goals come to life.

TOYS WORTH TOTTING AROUND
MOMMYHOODCommentAs summer wraps, up I’m sure all you Modern Mamas have one final trip planned or different activities on the books to ring in these final days of S-U-M-M-E-R (moment of silence :/). All of which requires lots of advanced planning when bringing our littles, as every Mama knows. I swear, my toddler could easily be mistaken for Curious George – ha! No but seriously, in the sense that if I don’t have lots of things for him to do, he somehow finds himself in a giant mess or becomes a human wrecking ball – send help!
WE'RE STRONGER THAN WE THINK
HEALTHY MAMACommentTruly! Learning how to breathe through the pain and give yourself a pep talk - you’ll

newborn nights, sleep regressions, and constant toddler negotiations. And most
recently for me, literally having to carry my 40 lbs toddler around everywhere for 4-
weeks when he broke his leg.
