Oh, the glamorous world of motherhood—where sweatpants are the new little black dress, and your new workout routine is called "chasing the toddler." If you're over 24 months postpartum, welcome to the era of the new normal. You've survived the first two years, which means you're probably a superhero. But let's chat about another superpower you might be neglecting: friendships. Remember those? The fine art of adult interaction that doesn't involve discussing diaper brands or sleep training methods.

Truth Bomb: Your phone done chatting with your pillow. It's time to rediscover friends!

Reconnecting with your friends might feel like trying to slip into your pre-pregnancy jeans—seemingly impossible but oh-so-worth-it once you get there. Relationships can fall into the background as you focus on the wonderful whirlwind of motherhood, but an invigo

The trick? Prioritizing. Just as you schedule naps (or try to), pencil some getting-back-on-the-friendship-wagon time. Beyond being a necessity, your friendships can offer a much-needed identity reminder that you are more than just "Mom."

Pro-tip: Pack an 'adult snack bag'—a makeup touch-up and a perfume vial—for spontaneous friend meet-ups!

As much as Facebook groups bring a community feel, let's face it, they can't match a real hug or the sound of unguarded laughter. Connecting with a friend doesn't always need to be a grand affair. Sometimes, it can be as simple as a text, a coffee date, or even a quick video call during nap time. Let’s emphasize the joys of adult interactions. These are the vital moments where you can vent about anything that makes your blood boil or your sides split with laughter.

Hot Take: Chatting with a friend can double as cardio. Laughter burns calories, right? Right?!?<

Let’s address the elephant in the room—the 'Mum Tum'—the fabulous evidence of life's beautiful transformations. If you're not quite ready to part with it yet, fear not! Your gal pal is on the same journey, probably rocking it like J.Lo did in Hustlers. But if you are on that "feel good, look great" path and need some new gear, you’re in luck. Explore Mum Tum leggings for comfy, sass-packed support as you rediscover friendships and many things about yourself.

Fashion Alert: Matching friendship bracelets now exist. They're called ‘leggings’ and they come in Mum Tum and Maternity styles.

If you're envisioning a friend who might still be cooking up their little bundle, point them to Emamaco's maternity leggings. Whether you're upgrading your own wardrobe or spreading the love, these leggings have you cover-ered... literally.

In conclusion, here's the rub: nurturing your friendships is not about glam get-togethers (although they're a blast)—it's about the sustainable connection that recharges you. So, go ahead, send that "can we catch up?" text and embrace the art of giggling with friends until you snort-cackle.
