Losing Your Mojo, Mommy? 10 Simple Ways Women Can Spice Up Their Sex Lives

March 21, 2014— -- intro: A full-time job to balance, kids to feed, errands to run, a house to take care of, a dog to be walked.

Notice something that's missing? How about making time for intimacy.

Women with young children often complain that their hectic schedule leaves little time or energy left in the day -- or night -- to think about having a sex life.

Dana Myers, the founder of BootyParlor.com, an online boutique aimed at boosting women's love lives, said she has heard stories from many of her friends with children that they were too tired or too busy to be intimate, so she started a workshop to help couples get their mojo back.

"What happens is that moms get tired," Myers told "Nightline." "You're up all night if your baby's not sleeping. There's this cumulative exhaustion that happens. ... A lot of moms become very focused on the child, and less focused on themselves and on the relationship. So things start to take a bit of a nosedive in the bedroom."

Myers spent time with "Nightline," shown in the photo below, and a working mother of two from Brooklyn, N.Y., to talk about ways women can re-channel their minds and bodies to keep things hot in the bedroom, and offered some of her tips below.
