Embracing My New Body After Kids

It has taken me a lot of work to embrace my body after having my second child. This go-around has taken me much longer to lose the baby weight, I have extra skin on my tummy, more stretch marks, and my body has changed a lot, in general. I am extra thankful for brands like Aerie that let women like us embrace and encourage us to be our real selves: no retouching, no filters. I am thankful that my daughters are growing up seeing an evolving society where the perfect photoshopped body is not the only one that is acceptable. I'm thankful that amongst the turmoil this year, we have had some positive, amazing things happen as well.

I want to thank L.A Momma Photography for hosting her "New Year, New Me" photoshoot...it was the inspiration I needed right now!!

I know so many of you want to work with incredible brands like Aerie, and now you can! You can find more info here. Being a brand ambassador for Aerie has felt like I am a part of a community and a movement, and I hope you get to join as well!

Cheers to us embracing our bodies more and more every day!
