Kim's Daily Blogs
My name is Kim Dreiling and these are my two beautiful children Evie and Bradey. I started blogging a few weeks after my daughter was born in 2008. I wanted to help teach other moms "how to raise healthy children." My main goal is to spread the word of health. There are many different alternatives and healthy ways to raise our children. It's my privilege to help you through this process. I provide you with the tools that you need to enhance your child/family's nutrition plan, daily activities, home life, exercise, living toxin free, getting organized, inspiration and most of all having fun raising your children. I receive emails from mom's all over the world asking questions or thanking me for blogging. Please feel free to email me, kim@absolutelife.com

Recovery After Birth
Written by Kim Dreiling
I hear from people every day "I can't believe you are out and about with a newborn!" I simply think it's about your body's ability to recover naturally. When you are healthy and take care of yourself inside and out during pregnancy, during labor and afterwards, your body can effectively heal in quick fashion. During my pregnancy, I ate well and exercised almost daily. I exercised up until the day I delivered. With my workouts and eating right, I didn't gain a lot of excess weight. Without drugs during and after labor, my body healed extremely quick. When you are under the influence of numerous drugs, your body takes longer to recover and heal.
Resting is critical for the first few days. It can be difficult to squeeze in a nap when you have more than one child, but any chance you can, shut your eyes for a few minutes. The more you rest, the healthier you will be and the better mommy you will be. Also, eating right is essential for healing. Fresh fruit, veggies and protein fuel your body to recover. Healthy fats such as olive oil, butter, peanut butter, and fish oils are very healthy for you and your breast milk. Another helpful tip is to drink a lot of water. Drinking a lot of water helps you recover, produce milk, and lose your baby weight.
Some people can bounce back quicker than others. Don't be hard on yourself or compare yourself with others. You are the best you can be.
