Mommy Mundo heralds the season with ExpoMom 2020: Love & Light Mama!
On November 28-29, 2020, Mommy Mundo held its second online ExpoMom event of the year, titled ExpoMom2020: Love & Light, Mama! A response to the challenges brought about by 2020, the two-day event focused on self-love and self-care, encouraging moms (and dads) to return to their centre and find peace within themselves so that they may encourage and instill peace in their homes despite the uncertainties that continue to plague the world during this time.
Self-care, like many good habits, is always easier said than done, but taking time for activities that nurture your emotional well-being and ease both your mental and physical stress is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.
Centering everything on well being, the Mommy Mundo team is bringing together health and wellness experts to discuss holistic approaches to wellness. It seeks to tackle how moms are feeling, what moms can do to help themselves (and each other), and how to ground one’s self in both self-love, mindfulness, and prayer. Each day of the two-day event will feature five wellness talks and a segment on the deals that parents can obtain by attending the FB Live event.

The challenge of getting back down to pre-baby weight is one many moms face. For some, the task seems impossible, either because no matter what they do it isn’t working or they are so busy with the new baby duties that they can’t find the time to do anything. Moms can often feel frustrated, desperate, or sad that they can’t get their old bodies back.
