Let's face it, being a mom is a lot of work. Actually, just being alive is a lot of work...forget adding in the mom part. Moms around the country will be waiting breathlessly next week as Mother's Day approaches for a little relief from their endless house cleaning, fixing and picking up of things, maintaining themselves (tweezing, exfoliating, masking, manicuring, ect), cooking, socializing, bill paying, and all the other endless things that go into making up a life in this day and age.
What moms, and all of us, need, is a consistent break from all this stuff we constantly need to 
do. The list never ends, but a daily vacation from all these demands can be made. A lot of us take these little time-outs in the form of something not so productive. My personal favorite is a cookie break in the afternoon - not great for the waistline, or any realistic stress busting benefit. My other favorite, impulse buying isn't a good choice either.
A better idea is a daily walk, as TV personality Sophia Dickens does for us here in these shots with our client Orbit Baby's Infant System.
Unlike jogging (which can be rough on knees, and is a little more time consuming than a 20 minute stroll) walking can be worked into a busy schedule more readily and consistently. The benefits are colossal, so this Mother's Day, think of giving the object of your gifting, or yourself, a personalized Walking Kit. Here we've listed what we feel are the most important pieces - you could also include an iPod or even a personalized song list depending on your mom.
The Orbit Infant System shown above is $899 at most retailers, and is a great choice for navigating the streets with ease.
And if you're thinking of an exercise program for yourself, consider Lavilin all natural deodorant - use just once for up to 7 days of protection! $15 at www.lavilin.com

It's Good: Orbit Baby's multitasking bassinet, complete with a sunshade extension (a.k.a. "paparazzi shield"), can be used as a Moses basket, on a stroller, or on a rocker. The rocker frame, which is included in the price, allows you to rotate the cradle a complete 360 degrees, so you can rock-a-bye baby to sleep any which way. The company also throws in a matching Cargo Pod, which snaps into the stroller attachment (available separately) for extra storage convenience. Other parent-friendly features include ergonomic carrier handles, a removable machine-washable mattress, and easy collapsibility."
