I stumbled on this book and thought it would be GREAT to share. This book is awesome for those moms that enjoyed the end of the week cocktail prior to pregnancy. This is a wonderful option while you're pregnant and/or lactating. The recipes are healthy for mom and baby.
Mudslides, Mojitos, Cosmopolitans, and Mimosas, plus yummy new libations like the Materni-Tini, the Raging Hormone, and the Chocolate Crave.

Staying Motivated
You're more likely to stick with an exercise plan if it involves activities you enjoy and fits into your daily schedule. Consider these simple tips:
- Start small. You don't need to join a gym to get in shape. Just get moving. Try a daily walk through your neighborhood. Vary your route to keep it interesting.
- Find a partner. Exercise can be more interesting if you use the time to chat with a friend. Better yet, involve the whole family.
- Use a headset. Listen to music or a book while you exercise. Use lively songs to energize your workout.
- Try a class. Classes designed for pregnant women. Choose one that fits your interests and schedule.
- Get creative. Don't limit yourself. Consider hiking, rowing or dancing.
- Give yourself permission to rest. Your tolerance for strenuous exercise will decrease as your pregnancy progresses.
