Brooke Burke knows what it's like to be sleep deprived like the rest of us. She just looks better.
Brooke recently wrote in her blog:
We are finally settled in our home. Shaya
just turned 3 months old, and I feel like I have just surfaced. I am so
sorry that I have not blogged in months. Any of you who have already
had your baby know where I am coming from! Anyway, Shaya’s naps are
getting longer, and my nighttime sleep intervals have gone from 2 hours
to 4, thank God! The other day I googled sleep deprivation and I had no
idea how responsible my sleepless nights were for everything I had been
feeling. It effects your memory, metabolism, and of course patience for
everyone in your family.
I am happy to say it does get better, so hang in there new moms.
Last month was pregnancy awareness month and I was asked to speak on
a panel about the work/life balance. I was invited to speak to hundreds
of other working moms about how I do it. I had to laugh to myself as I
thought of what a metaphor the topic is. Balancing motherhood and a
career is my most challenging thing. I have realized in my experience
that there is no right or wrong way to rear your children, and I had a
hard time giving advice on “how to do it”. I have learned a lot from
other moms, but I focus most on figuring out what works best for my
family. I know that everything is curable with love. I tried to
encourage moms to do the best they can and give themselves a break on
the days when it doesn’t seem good enough. I also have to admit that I
am a different mom the fourth time around. I think that is because
there is a lot less of me to devote to all of them after you do the
math. I am also starting to go back to work and there is always the
guilt when I have to spend all day away from my babies. Somehow, it all
works out, even though there is no perfect way.
I just designed a new product for the store. I have been using it to
work out and lose the rest of my belly inches. It’s like Tauts but made
out of neoprene. It is called Baboosh Body Sport and it is to be worn
while you exercise. The fabric will make your core area sweat like crazy!!!! Great news, it is for Dads too.
Love, Brooke
Ah, Brooke, you sound so down to earth and it sounds like you have the same struggles the rest of us have.
I knew there was a reason I liked you.
