It was easy – before I became a mom. I was all about taking care of myself. I had hair appointments on the calendar every two weeks without fail. I had eyebrow appointments once a month. If I felt like a pedicure, I’d stop and get one. I was up every morning at 6 to […] Read more…

My Role Model is a Mama
I have had a draft of this post in WordPress for a few years now. No lie. For the last few years I have been so motivated to have more, do more, be more and have my own. Some of that drive came from becoming a mom. Some of it came from watching some of […] Read more…
Confession: I’ve got nerve
Want my confession? The nerve of me. I started this site with the bold name of “Mama Motivator”. That was one gutsy move to say the least. You can’t set out to motivate other moms without being motivated yourself. You can’t inspire and motivate mamas to find their passion and follow their dreams if […] Read more…
When The Kids Are Older, I’ll…

What Mom Brain Looks Like

Donatello + Elsa were here
Elsa and Donatello made their way to our house for Halloween. My kids were super excited about Halloween this year. For my son, it’s all they’d been talking about at school. He comes home every day with new Spanish words for things related to Halloween. He was ready. My daughter feeds off her brother’s excitement. […] Read more…
When Your Fish Comes From the Carnival…
It all started so simple. As a family, we have to do 15 service hours with my sons school. There are many opportunities to volunteer and fulfill those hours. My husband volunteered a few weeks ago when they had food truck night. This weekend was my turn. I volunteered to help out with the school’s […] Read more…
