 Romi Lasally: L.A. Mom Confessions
Romi Lasally is an L.A. native, former Hollywood insider, current Hollywood wife, mother of three and online media publisher of all things confessional with her True Mom Confessions website (how well do you know the women in your life?). Read Romi's blog as she dishes about the latest and greatest L.A. culture has to offer. From girls' nights at the latest surgery spa (with free botox injections!), the pressure cooker of the L.A. private school scene, to the constant sightings of celebu-moms and their precious tots at almost every turn. Yes, she did sit next to Reese Witherspoon with sons' Jack and Deacon, then almost crash into a very pregnant Jennifer Garner only hours later. |

Dr. Trina Read: Mummy Sex Blog
|
|
|
 While promoting my book, I've noticed a big trend in questioning from reporters and moms alike. They ask, "How can we want sex when we're always so tired?"
My response, "Usually it's not the being tired that is preventing you from wanting sex."
An inevitable long and cold silence. Followed with a brisk (and defensive), "You don't think being tired plays havoc on people's sex lives?"
Exhaustion is very real and a big concern for couples. No doubt, there are many times when a woman/couple is too tired to have sex. Generally though, being tired shouldn't...

 Lotus, my seven year old granddaughter, and I were out for a walk last week. We were laughing, telling each other funny stories and knock-knock jokes to pass the time. Then she suddenly stopped, looked at me with her serious little face and simply said what was on her mind.
'Grandma, I'm going to miss you so much when you're dead.'
Oh my goodness. Those words went straight from her sweet little mouth to my unguarded grandmother's heart. BAM! SMACK! POW! It took a few seconds for me to... Click for more... |

 Did you know that music has the power to enhance endurance by 15% "and improve the 'feeling states' of exercisers, helping them to derive much greater pleasure from the task. One significant new finding is that music can help exercisers to feel more positive even when they are working out at a very high intensity - close to physical exhaustion."
So basically if you listen to music while working out, you'll keep doing the exercise longer and at a more intense pace without even knowing it...simply put, it's musical brainwashing.
Now the question remains...what is the best music to listen to while jogging?

Cover Me by Earth Mother
 Breastfeeding in public can be both intimidating and a challenge. Throw in a two year old toddler pulling at your shirt sleeve or running off when you finally get the baby to latch and a nursing blanket atop their head...
So when it proved difficult for Maggie Dymond to find a nursing cover that was both functional and stylish, she decided to create her own stylish, yet functional cover that only used soft, high quality, 100% certified organic fabrics.
She says, " When I began the process, I completely underestimated how difficult it would be to find a material that was both..."

Mummy Wins - A Cover Me Wrap By Earth Mother |
|
|
 There's a lot of things those breastfeeding books don't tell you. Like how it's sometimes difficult to position your baby and get a good latch. Or how they have the suction power of an industrial strength hoover and can stretch your nipples to the breaking point. Now try doing this in the middle of a crowded restaurant at lunch.
This month we're giving three Yummy Mummies a Cover Me Nursing Wrap by Earth Mother. Cover Me is a fashionable wrap that will keep you and your baby covered when you need a private moment in a public place.
