Mom Cancels Everything or it seems that way these days

As a new Mom I have learned that life and the speed of every day life changed for ever after the arrival of my little bundle of  Joy. More often than not a Mother has to cancel her appointments, activities,engagements and family affairs because of some sort of baby situation.

Baby is sick
it is very polite not to bring your baby to a play date or reunion when sick. You are actually being considerate to the other children. This is common after having shots.

Baby is teething
We are currently in this state. and  it has been definitely the hardest thing since the first week of having her in my arms. the pain is excruciating and watching her go through it is worse.

Baby is napping
Ok for many parents is easy when you have your baby schedule mapped out and you have an awesome  baby that naps for hours and hours but for me is not  the case. I have an awesome baby that never naps or if she does she power naps.

And there is always the other facts like if its raining, if its too hot, if the lanes are too long (special in t he border crossing) and if the bird outside your window didn't sing in the morning and your baby is in a bad mood... ok maybe not that last one. What I'm trying to say I  love my friends and family a lot but sometimes a mother needs to make decisions like canceling and postponing commitments  for the sake of the baby. It doesn't mean we care any less for the people we love.

People that truly loves you will always understand.

This week I been canceling stuff left and right.. it has been specially hard and thank you  friends and family for understanding.

Thank you hubby for pushing through the sleepless nights...

Hope this post helps a mom out there.

Much love to all,

I am a Mom & I Practice Yoga

Yoga has never left my side my practice has gone from the mat to every day life. Of course I am eager to get to the mat every time I can. If I have five minutes when i wake up before the baby does I take them to breath notice my body and how I feel. I then set an intention for the rest of the day & I try to carry that feeling and state of mind during the rest of my day. Sometimes is a challenge but habits come from practice and the only thing i wont do is to give up.

I wanted to share a little bit of my yoga background I became a Yoga Teacher last year by my beautiful amazing Guru, Guide, Teacher &  inspiration Kim Manfredi and her lovely team Camille Moses Allen & Marisella our meditation guide. I want to take a moment to publicly thank them for changing my life and guiding me in a journey that I am certain will follow for the rest of my life.
Hopefully I will share the practice not only with students but with my family, friends and my baby. They say children emulate parents and I surely hope she notices the good things like a daily practice. Wether is on the mat or during a walk, a conversation, or a tough decision. Of course I am also deeply grateful for my kula! my fellow yoginis and yogi that went through the same training as me. And my husband that practically & literally traveled for this adventure as my support and friend.
Also thank you Baltimore for being the witness! at  Charm City Yoga the house of the journey. www.charmcityyoga.com/

I have mentioned on my facebook earlier this week that I have always tried to share with people my yoga training experience and describe with words what Kim Manfredi my teacher was like and how it felt learning from her and I found this video sharing a bit of who she is.  I think this may help people see a bit more of what yoga means to me through my teachers practice. I hope  one day can emulate my passion for yoga in my own way, as she does by sharing her practice. YogaArt.

Namaste.

Now You Can Have Another Mom Blog

I love my baby, I love my husband & I love my yoga.

Recently, I had been asked several questions about being a new mom:  “What do you recommend?”, “Why do you like it?”, “Where do you go?”, “How can I get it?”.   These questions, and many more, are the reasons I have decided to start up this blog, which will allow me to share my life as a mom to world, and will include various personal likes and dislikes along that I have noticed along the way.   As a start, I’d like to say that I have never gone with “the flow” or, in other words, gotten something just because someone else has gotten it.  I have always liked what I like because of my own personal reasons and research, and not because of some popular trend, fad, or commercial, all of which tend to have a short shelf life.  My purpose here is to simply share my opinion as an option for other folks out there to reference, as well as sharing my personal experiences with my family and friends.  In the end, by way of this blog, I can only hope to help someone out there make a decision towards or against a particular choice for their life.  Even more, I also hope to inspire folks out there to live a better life.

Here we go!!!

Much Love,

Anny.
