One of our sweet mamas wrote a book called @mamasworkoutbuddybook, and here is our Founding Mama, Lisa, and CEO, Ash, with a copy. Author Carina Parks is part of the @fit4momsacramento village, and we are so proud of her! Books are available through Amazon (check our stories later this morning for the link and some heartfelt reviews). Carina will be at the National FIT4MOM conference next weekend selling her books, so come say hi and grab a copy! Not attending? Shop via Amazon 📚 . . "I work out at Stroller Strides, with my toddler in tow, 6 days a week. It’s become a regular part of our daily routine, and one that we both love and rely on. One thing I’ve noticed is that she is ALWAYS watching! It’s the greatest thing knowing that I’m instilling this norm of taking care of your body in my kids! And this book encapsulates this beautifully, the idea that exercise is fun- for both mama and kiddos! Carina does a great job bringing the reader along on a workout class and shows the joys that come with it! This book is a must-have for all Stroller Striders and mini Stroller Striders! 💕" @Katie_Did_What

“This is Motherhood. Mesh undies that come up to your boobs. The world’s largest maxi pad (seriously... I’m pretty sure these are in the Guinness Book of World Records...). Ice packs made from latex gloves because they fit your crotch... like a glove... 🤔. A spray bottle to wash your undercarriage. Dermaplast spray that provides some temporary relief to your recently destroyed lady bits... a stranger who assists you through the whole process of putting all these things to use & taking your first postpartum pee while your getting your sea legs. . Seriously // this is the stuff no one talks about. This is what you get told by the nurses as they watch your eyes glaze over in disbelief & confusion. As a first time mom, even IF you’re the lucky one who has a friend that breaks it to ya... it’s hard to process until it’s sitting in front of you. But you know the crazy part is...? . You don’t even care. All you can think about is the haze of what just happened, the gratitude for this kind stranger who’s providing gracious service & relief (seriously, you L&D nurses are the real MVPs), and the overwhelming love for this new little being who looks at you like you’re everything in this word that is good. . Mamas, this period of self-consciousness & pain & emotional toll & recovery, is very real, but it’s also very temporary. If no one warned you mama, I hope you find some peace in knowing now that this will pass & it’s a small piece of a much later & incredibly beautiful puzzle // motherhood.” Repost @marissavanskike . #postpartum #postpartumfitness #postpartumbody #postpartumjourney #breastfeeding #postpartumweightloss #bodyafterbaby #postbabybody #fitpregnancy #motherhood #newmom #fitmom #postbaby #pregnancy #mombod #birth #boymom #babywearing #newborn #yogamom #breastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #breastmilk #worldbreastfeedingweek #babywearing #breastfeed #postpartum #breastfeedingmom #wearallthebabies

SEND BACKUP. #tgif . . . BUT, jokes aside, you are not meant to mother alone; you are meant to have a village of support and TLC and guidance. You are most definitely super woman, but you don’t have to be; this is your weekly reminder that asking for help does NOT make you weak. In fact, it makes you a bad a$$ independent woman who is communicating her needs and taking care of herself — which is what baby needs! Need to shave your legs and take a shower? Ask a girlfriend to come over. Need help doing the laundry or unloading the dishwasher after your c-section? Have your mama or in-laws get to work. Need help breastfeeding? Find a local lactation support group. Having anxious or dark thoughts during pregnancy or postpartum? Talk to your doctor or a trusted outlet/resource center. Need to vent about your toddler being a handful or smearing 💩 all over your wall? Call a friend. Whatever you’re going through — YOU GOT THIS, MAMA. But call in your tribe to help when needed. It’s good for the body and soul 💛💛💛 . . . #themotherhoodisreal #strengthinmotherhood #FIT4MOM #motherhood quote via @difficultmommy
