It was a hot Southern California day (aka yesterday). I had been out to run a few errands with the kids. We got back home and headed to the backyard to play before lunch. I put a bit of water in their water table and headed in the house for a wireless speaker to get […] Read more…

5 Steps to Your Amazing Life
Last week I talked about creating a morning routine. Mine is still a work in progress and I’m adding things as I go. I’m working little by little to create one that works for me and actually energizes me instead of piling on a bunch of things that will eventually drain me. There is a song […] Read more…
5 Rules To Break
You may not be guilty. It could just be me. I’ve been guilty of following so many rules. Sometimes too many rules. Don’t say this. Only say that. Make sure to try this. Never try that. It can be hard to navigate under so many “rules”. It could also be hard to remember them all. Why do […] Read more…
10 Things I Hope I’m Teaching My Kids
It’s not what you say, it’s what you do. That’s the thing with kids, right? As many times as I I tell my son not to shout, if I’m raising my voice, he doesn’t hear me. It’s hard to say not do the very thing I’m doing. That’s the thing about kids. They are little mirrors […] Read more…

When Ambition Goes Bad
So, tomorrow is April 1st. The first quarter of the year is gone just.like.that. Did you set any goals when this new year rolled in? Do you remember what they were? So many of us start the new year with a bang. Our bang turns into a slow fizzle, then to an all out dud after a […] Read more…
Before you kill your dreams…
Last week, I was doing a little work on the computer. In the background, NBC’s The Voice was playing. I’m a sucker for music so eventually, I left my desk to sit in front of the television with my computer. Performer after performer hit the stage. They all had a few things in common. They […] Read more…
I don’t wanna be fearless
There’s this word we hear all the time. It makes you feel powerful. It implies that nothing phases you. When people use it, we assume they walk through this world setting it on fire. I was all about it too. I was sold on being FEARLESS! Who doesn’t want to be? Who doesn’t want to […] 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…
