Dear young mothers,
Please allow me to share a bit of advice...
Take care of yourself.
Yes, it's important to take care of your family but it's equally important to take care of you.
I wish I would have.
I recently had a physical and I'm happy to say that there's nothing seriously wrong with me but there's a few really annoying things going on that had I taken care of a few years back,
they wouldn't be so annoying now.
So, please, don't let yourselves go.
If there's a little weight to lose, lose it now.
Don't wait until you're done having children.
It's MUCH harder.
If you aren't eating right, start today.
If you need vitamins, take them.
You need to see a doctor regularly.
(Even if you think you can't afford it.)
Don't stay up until the wee hours of the morning to "get things done".
It's not worth it in the long run.
Do what you need to do to stay healthy.
It's worth it to you and your family.
Trust me.
Much love,
Cari

first - cute new layout!
second - I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. As the title of your blog states, Time Flies! I can remember my YW leaders telling me they still felt young and blah blah blah and me rolling my eyes, and now I'm in their shoes.
third - Some advice I'll add: being tan is not as great as everyone thinks in the long run.
Oh, I totally agree with the being tan thing. I am PAYING for my days of laying out with baby oil. Just yesterday I had things burned off and cut out because of this. Lovely, I know.
Cute new look to the blog.
Re: the health woes... let's go get a new bra at Vikki's Secret. When those babies get some attention, everything starts looking up.
Cynthia, so funny and so true! Thanks for the phone call! It's so nice to know someone's thinking of little ol' me. :)
Thanks for the reminder. I've had that exact thought on my mind lately. It's time to take care of my kid's momma-ME! (It's so hard, though.)
Thank you for the advice! I wish I would have done that more the first year of Adelaide's life. I was a hermit and it made me so depressed. We do need to take care of ourselves! In every way. I'm glad you're healthy by the way, that is always GREAT news!
great advice---i needed to hear that right about now! also, darling blog---love it!
