To my sweet sweet boy. You are my reason. All my decisions in life are based for you. I miss you every moment that isn't spent together. I cherish the time we have together. You are growing up so fast. Thank you for the sunflower today and the special card. ❤️Love you so much. xo mama

Knox Mountain park is one of my favorite places to hike. Especially when my mini me is alongside. What is your favorite thing to do with your kids? _________________________________________⠀ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fitness tips🤸🏼‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀⠀ _________________________________________ #sundayshenanigans

Alright ladies list 5 things that make you smile. 😁 Here are mine 1. When my son is so excited to show me something he has done. 2. Getting a kiss on the forehead when I'm still half asleep from my boyfriend when he leaves for work in the morning. 3. When my client messages me that they feel great after their workout, or they were able to hike without breaks, or they loved their new fitness program. 4. Mom and son dates. 5. Games! Crib, dice, monopoly, cards, board games. Love them all. _________________________________________⠀ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fitness tips🤸🏼‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀⠀ _________________________________________

👉So here is a leg burner all based around lunges. #1 The Stationary Lunge Feet placed apart so that when you lunge down to a 90 degree angle hips are in line with your knee and your front knee is online with your ankle. Keep the feet still and move up and down in this position. 👉 #2 The Reverse Lunge Step back with one foot into your lunge, then return back to starting position. 👉 #3 The Forward Lunge Step a foot forward and really watch as you come down into your lunge that your front knee stays back behind your toes. The momentum of your forward step is going to want to bring that knee forward. Return back to starting position. 👉 #4 The Jump Lunge Start with the legs apart and as you come out of the lunge jump up and switch the legs so the other leg is back as you land back down. 👉 # 5. The Stationary Jump Lunge Starting with the legs apart jump straight up and land straight back down into your lunge. Don't switch legs until you finish your reps on the one side. 👉Complete five reps of each exercise and try to get through three rounds of this. Put a timer on and see how long it takes you. Record your time in the comments below. 😁Happy lunging. xo Jessica 📷@jesselynnephotography⠀ _________________________________________⠀ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fitness tips🤸🏼‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀⠀ _________________________________________

So I'm only 8 months pregnant here and my stomach is huge. At this point I was carrying an extra 35 pounds and felt like I would have to hold my belly with my hands because of the pressure.⠀ 🌼⠀ I ended up with Diastasis Recti with this pregnancy. Now I wish I knew what I know now back then as this was prior to my training 7 years ago. I didn't do core work and wasn't very mindful of how I moved or got up. ⠀ 🌼⠀ There is so much that you can do during pregnancy to help be preventive of this condition. There is a lack of education out there for mamas to be. Seek out a professional prenatal trainer in your area that is knowledgable on Diastasis Recti.⠀ 🌼⠀ I have helped many women work through their entire pregnancy for preventative measure and quicker recoveries after delivery. ⠀ 🌼⠀ If you think you may have it or know you do I encourage you to reach out so I can help guide you on a road to a functional core. ⠀ ❤️⠀ Email me at info@bodyconnectionfitness.ca⠀ xo Jessica⠀ _________________________________________⠀ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fit‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀⠀ _________________________________________⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #pregnancyrunning⠀ #activepregnancy⠀ #pregnantwithtwins⠀ #pregnantandperfect ⠀ #pregnancyhealth ⠀ #pregnacystyle ⠀ #pregnantandperfect ⠀ #momliferocks⠀ #pregnantfashion ⠀ #momtobeagain⠀ #dailymotherhood⠀ #modernmom⠀ #wellnessmama⠀ #themotherhoodcorner⠀ #growingahuman ⠀ #mommytobe2019⠀ #csection ⠀ #vaginaldelivery⠀ #vaginalbirth ⠀ #relationshipmatters⠀ #proactivepostpartum⠀ #postpartumguidance

Some days will feel harder then others, some difficult moments may seem like they last forever, some times you may feel like breaking. But you got this and in those moments, days & times you just gotta take a moment to breathe. #mondaymotivation⠀ ⠀ xo Jessica⠀ _________________________________________⠀ ▪️FOLLOW @bodyconnectionfitness for your daily dose of mom life 🤦‍♀️, fit‍♀️, motivation & more. ⠀⠀⠀ _________________________________________⠀ #confidencecrusader⠀ #wonderwomenmentality⠀ #beautyintheeveryday⠀ #personalevolution ⠀ #alternativehealth⠀ #entrepreneurontherise⠀ #momjeansbestjeans⠀ #mommyblogger⠀ #mycreativebiz⠀ #mompreneur⠀ #mompreneurshit⠀ #mompreneurjourney⠀ #powerfulwomen ⠀ #thisismotherhood⠀ #motherhoodinspired⠀ #themotherhoodcorner⠀ #motherhoodintheraw⠀ #momentrepreneurs⠀ #featuremama⠀ #honestlymothering⠀ #motherhoodmoments⠀ #simplymamahood ⠀ #mommystatus⠀ #mommymoments ⠀ #igmotherhood⠀ #honestmomconfessions⠀ #beingamom

This was 6 years ago and I still remember this day so clearly. This was the day that mommy couldn't put you down for even a moment because you wanted skin to skin contact. You need my love and comfort. You needed me to take care of you. You were feverish all day. ❤️ Now that you are older you still love those snuggles even though you are so tough when you are sick. Mommy will always be there to hold you so tight and love and comfort you. You are getting so big and barely fit in my lap but we will always find a way. ❤️ xo mommy

Any mamas out there need a hug today? 🤗 Some days I wish I could have a do over, because being a parent is fucking hard. ❤️ There is no right or wrong when you parent, no hand book telling what to do in a situation, each kid responds to different parenting techniques differently from the next. ❤️ When something works one week and fails the next that doesn't mean you have failed as a parent it just means you have to try another way. You are a good mom. And it's ok to have a do over day. ❤️xo Jessica
