• LET’S TALK NAPS • In particular, toddler day naps. Lately our little guy hasn’t been crashing until ~9pm, this is a regular occurrence and it does my head in. We’ve tried all the things; white noise, night lights, bed time routines, no screen time etc etc, but when bed time rolls around he just isn’t tired. As much as I hate to think, it may be time to start dropping or reducing day naps. So tough as I often get the holy grail dual nap... meaning it’s regularly a triple threat for all of us 💤. The last two days we’ve given no naps a go and he’s been asleep by 8pm and sleeping until at least 7am. Too soon to tell really, but I’m going to experiment with a nap every second day or reduce his actual nap time to no more than an hour. ❓❓I’m curious to know what other Mums have done with their 2.5-3year olds regarding day naps and bed times?

• SUNDAY FUN-DAY • Indeed it was! Such a great morning spent on the boat and one of our favourite beaches (all to ourselves 🙌🏻) mucking around in the surf. We are truly so lucky to have such a spectacular backyard! Also looking cute AF in our matching @infamousswim. And staying sun protected with @wearefeelgoodinc. #matchymatchy #sundayfunday #karrathaiscalling #boatingadventures #islandhopping #karratha #dampier #pilbara #australia #australiasnorthwest #stillfeelslikesummer #angelisland #mumoftwo #lifeoftoddlers #letthembelittle motherdaughter #mumtum #postpartum #postbabybod #happyhealthypregnancy #striveforbalance #perthmums #aussiemums #filex2019 #ihaveembraced #thisiswa #westisbest
• WEEKEND WAGON • Let this be a little reminder to not let all of your healthy eating habits go out the window now that we’ve clocked over to the weekend. Sure the weekend often means more alcohol and processed foods for some - just make sure it’s not the case for every meal. A healthy relationship with food to me means fueling my body with whole, nutrient dense foods 🍎 🥕 🥬 as much as possible, no guilt for eating certain foods and everything in moderation - 🥂 champagne and waffles for dessert tonight! Say goodbye to the weekend binges people, healthy eating is for life! Give a 👍 if you agree! #healthyeating #fruit #veggies #saynotobinging #nourishing #nutritionist #perthnutritionist #veggielife #veganaf #wholefoods #perthfitness #perthfitlife #karratha #wellbeing #mumpreneur #perthfitfam #personaltrainer #perthtrainer #theleaguewomen #perthmums #perthmamas #sydneymums #lmbdwperth #trueprotein #veganfoods #toddlerfood #balancefitnessnutrition #striveforbalance #perthlifestyle @foodfanaticspilbara
• LEG LOVING • This morning my tribe and I got outdoors so this Mama could get some training in. The target? My lower body and core. How? By adding in unilateral movements, weight and dynamics to improve my balance and strengthen my core and legs. The workout? 5 rounds of: •10x Single legged deadlift (10 a side) •12x Weighted squats •12x Curtsy lunge (6 a side) •12x Single leg squats (6 a side). I went from one movement to the next with minimal rest to keep my heart rate up and to simply get it done. All up it would’ve taken me about 20mins. You could easily to 3-4 rounds and still get great results. Pointers: •If postnatal this is a great workout for you! You can modify by using body weight only for all of these movements You can also decrease your range of movement in the squats and lunges if you wish. •If the single leg squats are quite challenging simply use a higher bench, chair or table. The trick is to lower yourself with control rather than to just ‘sit down’. Reset when you hit the seat and then drive through the working leg. •The single legged deadlifts can be done with or without a weight. Feel free to touch your foot to the floor in between each rep if you need a little extra balance. Be sure to tag me if you give this one a go! Let’s face it ladies, it can basically be done in your lounge room. 😜 Just saying.
