Mother’s day is this weekend. (Hope you have your moms gift) Although if you ask any mom she’d probably say mothers deserve more than one day that falls on a Sunday. That means moms have to go to work the next day. The reality soon settles in that mother’s day is over on Monday morning. It’s back to the grind of life.
If you’ve followed my on twitter @MommyMakinMoves and Facebook you’ve seen my mantra. Motivated Mommy Making Moves. I think it’s pretty fly. Don’t you?
Well, I came up with this little saying because of all the buzz around women pushing their dreams to the side to raise their children or be supportive to their mate. When I heard that this was expected of me, I got angry. I was mad that people in my life expected me to “settle down”. I was frustrated that as a woman that had dreams before I had a man and a child I was expected to abandon all the vivid dreams that kept me progressing. I was pissed that my life would become mundane and routine. In a nut shell I wanted to start a RIOT (No 2Chainz)
After the back in fourth in my head of if I could still be a great mother and wife while pursuing my passion, I came to the conclusion that I had no choice. I refused to pour into others leaving my own cup empty. I deserved to be fulfilled, I deserved to live in abundance even if that meant me taking on the extra work load.

This issue inspired me to make our signature shirt “Motivated Mommy Making Moves” with the image of our beautiful 1st Lady Michelle Obama. She is an amazing role model for women and girls.
Motivated Mommy Making Moves means that I’ll never forget I’m a mother but I will continue to move towards my professional and personal destiny. Yes there will be some tough decisions along the way but heavy is the head that wears the crown and as my husband says I’m a queen.
You can have love, a social life, success and be an amazing mother. I’m here to tell you it isn’t easy but it is a challenge well worth the juggling act.
Sincerely,
Motivated Mommy Making Moves.
