20something Moms
I don't know many moms that are my age. Of course that's not a problem, I'm not bothered that most of my friends don't have kids; they love my daughter like their own and embrace my motherhood. I love them for that.
There are certainly difference in our lifestyles among my non-mom friends and me. Come Monday mornings we talk about the parties they went to, the bars they drank at, or the dates they went on. I, in return, tell them about crayons on my wall, the new Elmo video my daughter loves, and the new words she is saying. I'm blessed that my friends genuinely take interest in those things (though I'm not always sure why).
Hi, my name is Tara and I am a 24 year old mom to a beautiful 15 month old little girl. I was born and raised in Southern California and I am currently living in Connecticut. A snow filled winter has been an interesting challenge and I hate shoveling my driveway. I do love shopping for the perfect outfit, shoes, and scrapbooking. My husband has been in the Navy for around 9 years, is a Submariner, and is currently deployed. I talk about life as a military wife on my personal blog This Military Mama.

Women in their twenties having children have an advantage over older moms when it comes to getting our bodies back after pregnancy. Our metabolisms are still relatively fast (although approaching slow-down stage), and our energy levels are still high (well, as high as they can be chasing after kids). Still, working out is the last thing that most women want to do after having a baby, even though we realize it’s the best way to get back in shape. Here are five tips to help you get your pre-pregnancy body back.
Are you a twenty-something stay-at-home mom looking to have some adult conversation during the day? Perhaps you’re a working mom who’d just like to connect with other moms your age. Why does this seem to be so difficult?
