Have an idea? Let's talk!

The look on Rio’s face when I ask if he wants to film Instagram content 😩🤦🏽‍♀️ People always ask how I get my kids to co-operate for instagram! Well here’s the truth; - 90% of the time we’re just playing around and capture our content in real time. Either with a self timer or with a very handy instagram husband ( @tomolivermartin 😘)... - 9% of the time we have a complete meltdown with me asking Rio to “just smile for one second... but naturally... try looking into the distance” 😂... with him replying “but Mama I just want to play”! and I realise it’s not his job to put on a fake smile so we give up and mess around! - 1% of the time, I’ll admit it’s bribery 😂🍭 in my defence only if the location is a one off ( and yes my children have sweets) - The above picture ended as option 2... complete meltdown, so we boycotted the Instagram content and just had a play in the park! - Here’s the point - You raise your children to have their own mind... so don’t get annoyed when they don’t agree with you! 💯🙌🏾 I love creating social media content but it’s not my children’s jobs to stand by and smile every time. - I hate that kids grow up with phones in their faces these days, it’s so important for them to just be outside and be kids right❓ - What’s your favourite natural game❓ mines climbing trees! Rio’s is playing with water in the summer! 🌳❤️ #stronglikemum
Truthful Tuesday: 👀👉🏾 7 months postpartum and here’s something all postnatal women should know about their body... your pre-pregnancy muscles, they’re STILL THERE!!💯 - In particular let’s talk about ‘Abs’ 😳🏋🏽‍♀️ Your rectus abdominal muscles themselves do not stretch during pregnancy, the Linea Alba ( the fibrous structure between your rectus abdominus) is what stretches and separates your rectus abdominal muscles. - In this picture I might look like I’m ‘getting me Abs back’ and in a way I am BUT there’s still a layer of body fat that I’m trying to shift! - Trust me, this picture took a lot of ‘tensing’ and angling to get the right light 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️ BUT I wanted to show that my ab muscles are still there! ( swipe right to see other angles, still ok but no-where near as defined)! - NOTE:⭐️ A HUGE part of getting a toned tummy is down to burning fat. 💦 but Remember; If you’re breastfeeding (like me) your body needs to fold on to extra body fat in order to assist the production of breastmilk! - I’ve been getting frustrated at my own 𝒮𝓁𝑜𝓌 progress, but when I took this picture I remembered I need to take my own advice! So wanted to share with other women who might be feeling similar! - Let’s celebrate our bodies! 😃🙌🏾 and most importantly give them time to recover and rejuvenate postpartum! 💯 #stronglikemum #7monthspostpartum
Monday Mama Moves 😅💦 This is all about feeling those Glutes buuurrrrn 🔥🔥 - I don’t know about you but I feel like so often people get obsessed with ‘Abs’ and forget the rest of the body! Well alongside a strong core, I’m working on toned arms and a pert posterior 🍑😂👍🏾 - So here’s this weeks bottom burner! Try each exercise for 30-40 seconds (20/25 seconds each side when needed) and if you can go for 3 sets! 20-25 minutes total time needed! - 🍑 Lateral plank leg raises 🍑 Straight leg kick backs 🍑 Superman 🍑 Single leg hip raises 🍑 Squat double pulse 🍑 Bent leg kick backs 🍑 Full extension kick backs 🍑 Bridge Glute squeezes - Enjoy! 💦👍🏾😘 #stronglikemum
