You Stay Home, I’ll Go To Work, Part 1

“On our second date, both my husband and I said we wanted one of us to be home with our kids” 

“It was really quite easy for me..I know I’m an odd mom!!  However, I appreciate that space…I appreciate the “freedom” and time away – then I can love up on them even more when I get home!”  

Ah, the age-old question of being a full-time SAHM (stay at home mom) or FTWM (full-time working mom).  (And before I go any further my acronym for moms who work full-time outside the home is not to imply that SAHM’s don’t work, this is just the easiest way to identify between the two.)  It seems like this has been a debate for as long as man-kind has been around, however lately I’ve noticed an increase in judgement of those that stay home and those that work from people in the opposite groups.  I decided to do a little unscientific research of my own.  I polled my Facebook fans and friends to gather questions for both groups as well as me having a few questions of my own, then I asked a couple friends (both SAHM and FTWM to help me out and answer the questions.  My goal is for all of us to better understand each other and ultimately support each other no matter which route we choose for our family!  So, here’s what I found out!

Be Healthier Now, Part 1

— Katy Flint4 Comments

I’m so excited to have Shannon Ambroson as a feature writer on my site for 2 editions of “Be Healthier Now!”  We all know that I love living a healthy lifestyle and making healthy choices, but I’m no expert, so I brought an expert in!  I hope you enjoy it and connect with Shannon if she speaks to you!   Shannon is a Wellness Coach and Independent Team Beachbody Coach and blogs regularly about health, fitness and wellness shannonambrosonwellness shannonambroson.com.  She is a 32 year old military wife and mom of two, and self proclaimed coffee addict, working to make the world and her friends a bit healthier, one day at a time.

For some reason, people have the mentality of, “If I can’t go all in, it’s not worth it.”  But what the mentality of, “To get anywhere you have to take the first step”??  Who says you have to do it all HARDCORE or it won’t work??

I put together a list that for most of you will seem like “duh” tasks… but are you doing them?  If you’re considering making a change in your life–including losing weight–here are some things you can do right NOW to get started.
