Filters should be fun, not a warped perception of reality. How many times do you see a photo in a magazine or online of a beautiful woman (or man) who has the perfect skin, no wrinkles or bags under her eyes, not a stretch mark in sight, not a vein out of place and a body that doesn’t even know what cellulite is?   Do you then find yourself asking, ‘Is it real?’  ‘Can I believe what I’m actually seeing?’   Yesterday homeschooling included a presentation about online safety.  The internet has become such an integral part of our lives now, this is just as important as learning about road safety.   What I really liked was the inclusion of everything you see online isn’t always as it appears to be and the children really engaged in guessing if various pictures were of a pair of legs or hot dogs.    At the tender ages of 6 and 7, it is just a game, however it has a strong message and I think we should take stock from this in helping our children with their self esteem and mental health. There is so much pressure in the media that we should look a certain way and that something must be wrong with us if we don’t.  We all have our own individual beauty which makes us unique. Our children want us to be who we are and not something that is fictional or filtered.  They love us for being real. When explaining to both my children about photographs being filtered, I used the example of my unicorn post. I showed them it wasn’t real and I was just messing about and Livvy gave such an honest response with a feeling of, ‘but that’s not my mum’, and said ‘It’s not really you as your skin isn’t that smooth and you’re not that white.’ Children have a wonderful way of being so honest.   Helping our treasured little ones with their self esteem and confidence starts with yours.   I’m proud to say at nearly 45 and after two children, I have abs.   However, I also have stretch marks, prominent veins and cellulite.   But, guess what?  It’s real. It’s who I am and I’m good with that.  I refuse to let the media make me feel bad about myself and you shouldn’t either.   Let’s keep it real for our children and be who we are, wart’s and all. #selfesteem #unfiltered #keepitreal

Follow Your Instinct ‘Mother knows best’. There was never a truer word spoken in jest. Even if you are going to be a first time Mum, you will develop an instinct you just cannot describe. You will have lots of people, with the best intentions telling you that you shouldn’t be doing that, you should be doing this, the best thing you can do is, etc. This ‘advice’ is all given out of care and love, but the best thing you can do is follow YOUR instincts. If something feels okay, then carry on, if it doesn’t, then stop. If you are worried about anything during your pregnancy because you have a gut feeling that something doesn’t ‘feel’ right, then speak to your Midwife. #motherknowsbest #instinct #motherslove #mumtobe #pilates

Relax and enjoy your growing bump Pregnancy is a magical journey faced with joy, emotion, worry, excitement, fear and amazement.  All of these emotions are quite normal.  Your body is constantly changing and it is all happening out of your control as Mother Nature takes over.  The best thing you can do for you and your baby is to accept the changes happening in your body, let nature do it’s thing  and most of all relax and enjoy every minute.  Yes, it’s easy to say, but not so easy when you have morning sickness, swollen ankles and are crying for no apparent reason!  But, just think in a few months time you will give birth to your baby, who you will love unconditionally and would do anything for.  You will look in amazement at your little one and your heart will melt.  The calmer and more relaxed you are, the better you will adapt to pregnancy and the more you will enjoy feeling your baby grow inside you.  The happier and calmer you are, the more contented your baby will be. #pregnancy #motherandbaby #mumtobe #prenatal #exerciseinpregnancy #pilates
