Written by Jeanette, mother of two. This recipe was given to me by our Grandma who is now 84 years young. It’s an absolute favourite in our family. I love making these to have on hand over the weekend. They are great to take on picnics and handy to pop in school lunches.

Are you confidently doing the WRONG thing?

Written by: Dianne Edmonds Posted on 17 Mar 2012 0

Lately there have been a number of articles on postnatal exercise, and getting back into shape after pregnancy, but many still ignore the pelvic floor! With the rise of the plank and hover exercises, women seem to be advised to go from gentle abdominal postnatal bracing exercises working the transversus abdominus, straight to hovers , planks and sit ups. That is like going from Kindy to High School in ...

Written by: Dianne Edmonds Posted on 09 Mar 2012 0

“Mum, what’s for dinner?” is the most common chorus that echoes down my hall way about 5pm. Sometimes I dread to answer that question because often I haven’t quite decided myself or because I know my children are not going to be particularly pleased with the answer.

One day a few years ago, I realised I was eating sausages because that’s what my son liked at the time, but I remembered that I actually didn’t like sausages. Well very rarely, they had to be good. So what am I doing eating this? How can someone who knows about health and fitness slip into bad habits? I can list as many excuses or “reasons” as anyone.

Dianne Edmonds 3/06/2013 5:24:30 PM Thanks Lori for your comments. It would be great for postnatal mums to learn this now and not take 9 1/2 years like I did to find out about this information. I was listening to Dr Sara last night and was reminded that we can help join in with her audacious goal to balance the hormones of 1 million women in 2013 - starting here with our postnatal mums!

Thanks again Lori!

I am a physio in here in Brisbane and deal mostly now with Women's Health-related patients. I heard about Dr Gottfried's book a short while ago and it's on my to-read list! I love the tiara idea! I think it's so important for any postnatal mom, whether new or 9 1/2 yrs later, to take time out for themselves. We don't do it enough. Even to eat - I tend to catch myself eating standing up or on the run :)

Thank you so much for your blogs, I really enjoy them and I advise my patients to read them as well.

The greatest stress is balancing being a mum and earning an income. There are some great options available to avoid going back to the stress of work and bringing home the stress to your family. I have started a fantastic work from home based business which is just perfect for having both flexibility and income flow. If you are interested in transforming you work and motherhood have a look at www.improvesuccess.com.au for some options. Wishing yo all the best in your transformation!

Anyway just be patient and don't waste as much money as i did on tests if it's meant to be it will beReferences :
