Does This Wearable Really Deliver Mindfulness?

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/09/does-this-wearable-really-deliver-mindfulness/

These days we’ve got trackers that monitor, well, just about everything: steps, workouts, heart rate, sleep, your dog’s activity … (We are truly living in the future.) via GIPHY And now we can add another thing to that trackable list (and it’s pretty darn cool): mindfulness. Yep, by monitoring breathing patterns that indicate periods of tension, relaxation and mental focus, the Spire Stone ($129.95) claims to reduce stress and anxiety while increasing mindfulness as you go through your everyday life. Does it work though? We tried it for a month and here are our thoughts! via GIPHY Spire Review: Pros The…

Conversation Starters for You and Your Child

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/09/conversation-starters-for-you-and-your-child/

I remember wondering — during most of my postpartum period — what was going on in my baby’s head. I would turn to my partner as my baby cried and ask him, “What do you think our baby is thinking right now?
