New Energy Mom Vitamins

Don't forget to link up to my Marvelous Mess party....each week I pick a new post to feature on my sidebar!!!! 

Being a Mom is a LOT of work. It wipes you out mentally and physically at times. For instance, my memory has never been the same since I was pregnant. I call it, "Mom Brain".....and I know I'm not the only one with this affliction. :-) Many of my mom friends complain of the same thing. I also have issues with having enough energy during the day, getting enough sleep at night (when you've got a newborn, it goes without saying!!), and maintaining weight loss. 

I was given the opportunity to review New Energy Mom vitamins recently. I took them for an entire month (daily). I hadn't been taking a regular mulitvitamin for  a while....only supplementing with vitamin d and the b-complex's to help me out. So, my body was totally excited to have this healthy switch happen!! When the month was up, I went on for another month without taking any extra multivitamins. There was a noticeable difference from one month to the next!! 

Taking New Energy Mom's
*Better sleep
*Improved Mood
*Less Anxiety
*Clearer skin (this isn't mentioned on the site as a bonus....but I thought I'd bring it up!!)
*More mental drive
*More Energy

For the past month I haven't taken the Multivitamins.....and it really has made a difference in the mental and physical zone that i have been in. I only just recognized this. I have been in a slump recently......and I think I know why now!! My body is nowhere near as healthy as it was earlier int he summer. So, from my perspective, I will *totally* recommend New Energy Mom multivitamins.....they have really made a difference in my life!!
You can find New Energy at these places:


I was given product in return for a review. All opinions stated in this review are my own, and it was written in my own words.

Marvelous Mess #25 and Features!!

AH!! I'm running behind today!! Thanks so much for linking up......I'll get right to my favorites:

A DIY Birdbath from Art For Little Hands. Love the sea glass and the simplicity of the project....I don't doubt the birds will love it too!!

A Braided Updo by Raising 4 Princesses. Isn't this gorgeous?!?! I only wish I could put my hair up like that. I love short hair but you just can't create these kinds of updo's with it. 

Cocoa Butter Coffee Lotion from One Mom's World. Um, awesomely delicious?? Make's me hungry. My skin, that is. ;-) Right. 

and the post I'm going to feature on my sidebar for a week............

Family Saftey Meeting from Mommy Minded. Love this idea from the emergency fire drills, tornado drills, a safe meeting place in emergencies, to smoke alarm battery checks. It was an inspiring read and a great reminder to have your whole family on the same page about safety. Added at the end of the post was a great idea to include personal body safety. It's so important to talk to your children about body safety.....from the basics of "Don't talk to strangers" to all the things an adult (that you know or don't know) should never do. There is a great movie called The Safe Side that you can find on Amazon. I found it at our local library and it makes learning about personal safety fun and important all at the same side......it's not intended to "scare" but to arm your children with the tools they need to keep themselves better protected. Please take the time to read up on how to talk to your children about how to keep themselves safe. Include it as part of your family safety meeting and make it a regular topic of discussion. If you are looking for more information on how to keep your children safe, the
Polly Klass Foundation offers free kits to anyone living in the US.
Also, this site has some great articles:
LIFE 123

So, please take the time to go over these important facts with your kids and help empower them and you to be safe!!

Whew. Big (but important) topic.

Okay, switching gears....
 Thanks to all of you for linking up!!
