The Curious Mom

When the doctor places your new addition into your arms, your whole world changes. Your whole life instantly becomes about your child - the little things that you used to worry about seem insignificant now, all that matters is your little girl or boy. While motherhood can be incredibly rewarding, it can also be difficult at times, which is why a lot of new moms struggle. 

New babies need a lot of care and attention and because of this, can be stressful to take care of. It’s all the stress that comes with caring for a newborn combined with little sleep and hormones that are all over the place, that can leave new mommas with a case of the baby blues - aka, feeling a little down in the dumps. 

Studies show that up to 80% of new moms struggle with the baby blues at one point or another - it’s incredibly common to feel this way. The good news is that beating the baby blues is much easier than you might think, it’s just a case of making your wellness a priority, that’s all. 

The real estate industry is always changing. This sounds somewhat trite, and maybe a little obvious, but an alarming amount of people don’t really see this industry as something that changes all that often.

But this outlook often comes from a misunderstanding of what it is that drives real estate costs. 

Ask just about anyone and the odds are that they’ll have the same idea about what it is that ultimately determines the value of a given property: location, location, location. Sure,  buyers aren’t going to be willing to fork over too much if, say, the roof is caving in, even if the area is nice. But even a bad property can go for a price that will make the landlord rich if the property is in the right location. All you’ve got to do is look at the prices that apartments you could almost label ‘decrepit’ go for in places like New York City and central London go for to see that location often supersedes all other factors.

One thing that all mothers forget to do is to look after themselves.

To be the best mother for your children, you need to remember to look after yourself too. Here are some tips to help you do so.
