“Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things: One is that God loves you and you’re going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love.” ~Butch Hancock

Today I received a DVD in the mail. It was Lullaby Exercises, an exercise DVD by mom Darcy Albrecht that is designed for moms to do with their little ones in a baby sling or wrap. I’m a huge baby wearer with this baby because she does SO WELL in her Moby Wrap.
I mean, she sleeps all day. No joke. When I take her out for too long, she cries from the over stimulation. She just loves being cozy next to mom. I’m happy to oblige, I mean she’s a newborn. Two months ago she was floating around in amniotic fluid in the dark listening to my heartbeat from the inside. I do everything with her in her Moby; work, clean, prepare meals…now I work out, too!
I wasn’t planning to try this DVD today but popped it in at abut 4:30 PM when my little one started getting fussy. Her whines turned into howls so I gave up on a work call and popped in the DVD.
Darcy’s soothing voice, the sweet music, and the moves in the Sleep section of the DVD had my baby asleep within 2 minutes. I’m not kidding. She was in such a deep sleep that I decided to go ahead and try the Groove section. Now this is what I call a mama workout! The steps were so much fun to do and Darcy’s attitude is contagious. As my baby settled in to a deep snoring sleep I was working my tummy, arms and legs all to some original booty-shaking pop country music.
The best part of Lullaby Exercises is that it spoke to me as a mom. Darcy held her own son while she talked about soothing babies in the middle of the night and her love for her family. It was real. Every once in awhile there would be a crying in the background, not in a distracting way (as if that sound could be distracting to a mom) and it was clear that these women in the video were real moms like me.
I love this DVD so much. I’m going to do it several times a week. By the end of it I could feel that my muscles had gotten a great workout and even though I hadn’t left the house, I felt like I’d connected with a great mom friend!
Bonus: There is a CD of great country music with beautiful lyrics included!
This is a Mommy Must Have!

Look around your bedroom right now. What do you see? C’mon be honest.
Are there sippy cups and wine glasses on your bedside tables? Clean and dirty clothes piled up in the hamper (and on the floor). A couple of Oprah’s literary recommendations lying around? What else? Shopping bags? Receipts (throw those away before the husband sees them)? DVDs? A stiletto and Ugg wasteland?
Now answer this question: who would want to give it up in an environment like that? You may as well be trying to make love in an outlet mall the day after Thanksgiving. It’s too much. Just like on a Hollywood set, the mood, the feel of the space where the magic is supposed to happens is everything.
Mom. It’s time to get a box of Kleenex, a humongous trash bag and get rid of the stuff your “baby” can’t wear anymore. Despite what you may have seen in the wrong parts of LA, it’s not acceptable for a toddler to wear a onesie like a t-shirt with the little tails that can’t snap anymore flapping in the wind. We’re going to judge you.
I stumbled upon a site yesterday that will have your house de-cluttered and orgasms back before you can say “controlled burn” (which by the way is NOT good way to get rid of excess goods).
After all is said and done, I’m all about supporting moms. This website allows moms to save some cash by buying and selling gently used clothes, toys, and strollers. It’s like our own Craigslist without the whole creepy casual encounters/fetish section. I mean, I’m a longtime fan of Craigslist but wouldn’t shop at a Babies ‘R Us that shared retail space with a topless bar. Nothing against breasts. I just don’t think the words “high chair” and “anal beads” should be on the same website.
Back to HandmeDowns.com. Instead of throwing away your baby clothes and letting that Maclaren waste away in your garage, let some local mom take them off of your hands. You’re dressing another baby and creating new space in your home! Tip: If you don’t have time to list clothes individually, sell them in a bundle called a “lot.” Spend the cash you make on candles and massage oil.
One of my favorite parts of the website is that they work with charities like Baby2Baby so that you can donate your goods directly to moms & dads who need a helping hand.
Another one of my favorite parts is that registration takes about 5.7 seconds. Bonus!
Bottom line: save the environment by letting members of your community reuse your stuff, make some money, support a charity, and have more sex.

Sell her stuff. It’s stressing you out.
