We believe that wholeheartedly.

CRANBROOKHey! I'm Kali! I met my husband when I was still a teenager at a corn maze. We got married and traded our life in the big city for a laid back small town one. We now enjoy the best view of the rocky mountains! I am the chaos coordinator in the mad house I created to three young children. I enjoy cooking dinners that no one eats, cleaning up messes I didn't make and never having a moment of privacy. I'm losing it but loving it!

ATLANTAI am a mom to an amazing baby boy. He is the sweetest, most happiest baby I’ve ever met. His giggles and drive to be ahead of his time is absolutely amazing. Since becoming a mom I have found a love for lots of coffee and the occasional sip of wine.
My husband and I have been together for seven years and married for three. Life with him has been an adventure of of ups and downs with lots of laughter in between. We love to travel even if it’s just to new places within our state. We have two fur babies, Givenchy and Louis, one an adopted morkie and the other a rescued unknown.
Being a mother is by far the hardest "job" I've ever had but also the most rewarding. I love sharing my stories and tips that I've stumbled upon along the way. I started blogging two years ago as an outlet. Since having my son I’ve started blogging more about motherhood and all its truths. If you want pure honesty with a bit of giggles along the way, follow me on this crazy adventurous ride.

Dr. Rebecca B
TORONTOThis year, I became a mom to a precious baby girl. I had just finished my training to become a family doctor and had given plenty of pre-natal, pregnancy and post-partum advice. I had delivered many babies, worked in numerous pediatric wards and clinics and trained under world renowned pediatricians, OBGYNs and family doctors. I had to know everything about pregnancy, childbirth and babies... Or at least that's what you'd think. After six years of training to be a doctor I quickly learned I knew very little about newborn babies and child rearing! So I decided to start writing about what I wish I had learned in medical school and residency to help medical students, interns, residents and moms through this incredible life stage!

PINEHURSTI'm a Certified ADHD Teen Life Coach: (Teens are my jam!) and creative mind behind the Teen RockStar Program: a 10 month academic long year program of support and partnering with High Schoolers.
I pursued and completed my coaching training certification at the International ADHD Coach Training Center (iACT Center), an ICF accredited program and the rest is history!
I created the Teen Rockstar program as I realized High Schoolers, who are neurodiverse, need support throughout the academic long year. Staying on task, breaking down barriers with motivation, getting started, procrastinating, uncovering coping skills, while being someone in their corner who believes in them, are just a few benefits of my program.
I reside in my “Happy Place” of Pinehurst, NC. where I'm a mom of two incredibly opposite teenage boys, Brady and Bryce, and wife of a workaholic hubby, Tim.

We have been going through treatments for 2.5 years now. It’s been a journey but its brought my entire little family closer together and shown me what it means to be patient, resilient and grateful for the two miracles that I do have. I lived in Mexico City until I was 12 and am one of those “Mexican Jews” people seem to think are so rare haha. I’m obsessed with Broadway musicals and hope to be in one someday (although my singing voice only sounds good in the shower). Love being a mom! I was 27 when I had my twins and cannot imagine life without them!

VANCOUVERI'm a mother to two boys under two. I tarted my Instagram blog: @livelaughluci as a way to practice vulnerability. As soon as I focused more on speaking my truth, about Motherhood, I've built amazing friendships with other Mama’s who find my blog to be: real, honest, funny and relatable. Let’s just say it’s not the typical IG feed out there. I know that being a mom is a high pressured role to take on. Therefore, I continue to blog so that others don’t ever have to feel scared or alone in this journey we call: motherhood.

SEATTLEI am a lucky wife and mother of two beautiful children. I was born in Russia, but grew up in Germany, before Seattle, Washington became my permanent home.
I might work in healthcare during the day, but fashion has always been my passion since I was a little kid (thanks to my uber-fashionable mama). I remember buying the Italian Vogue during a school trip to Rome and devouring every page of it! Not much has changed about my fashion obsession, but somewhere along the way, my love for styling became a profession as well. I am fortunate to be a stylist and pass my styling advice on, which brings me so much joy!
My personal style is a combination of classic, elegant pieces accessorized and styled with that certain it-factor that makes the whole outfit interesting and unique.

We love to travel and take our boys with us whenever we can. We have two fur babies, Khloe and George, both cockapoos and they are a huge part of our family. I was a hairstylist for thirteen years and left that career to be a full time stay at home mom. This is by far the hardest "job" I've ever had but I wouldn't trade it for a single thing. I love sharing my stories and tips that I've stumbled upon along the way. I started blogging two years ago as a way to share my experiences in motherhood and have a social outlet so, grab your favorite coffee or glass of wine and follow along with me on this wild adventure!

MILWAUKEEHi, I’m Kayla! I’m a woman in science from 9 to 5 and a toddler mom ‘round the clock. In my spare time, I love to create content for my website, www.thelighthousechapters.com. If you read the first part of that last sentence and snorted derisively, then my content is perfect for you! I show moms like myself that it is possible, and necessary, to make yourself a priority, no matter how impossible that seems sometimes. Yes, it’s possible for you to travel, have a hobby, etc. and still have an identity apart from just “mom” (though that is the most precious title we will ever hold!) I teach moms to lean in to their unique identities by having fun, in ways that also save money, time, and stress!

Amy F
FARMINGTONHello,
I am so excited to join the Mom’s Beyond community. Before I dive into sharing my stories and connecting with all you amazing women, I thought it would be good if I told you a bit about myself and my family.
I’m a woman who wanted an ordinary life and ended up with an extraordinary one. Growing up I wanted my life to be like the ABC afterschool special minus the drama. Find a nice guy, get married, settle down and raise kids.
I did find the nice guy. We started off marriage by him losing his job and a move to Florida. After we settled in and started working, I had my first miscarriage. Then I had another one. Then one more. I was devastated. I didn’t know what was going on and wouldn’t find out the reason until many years later.
So after lots of talking and researching we started the adoption process. I had always wanted to adopt as I was adopted myself. We filled out a ton of paperwork, went to classes to learn about children in the foster care system, filled out more paperwork, and waited.
Marvin joined our family at 18 months old. Born methamphetamine addicted and with shaken baby syndrome he brought joy to our home. He also brought many new challenges as the diagnoses rolled in. Autism, POTS, O’Donnell-Luria-Rodan Syndrome joined the lineup.
Four years later Cary Lynn joined our family. She was born at 24 weeks and had Cerebral Palsy, hydrocephalus, Diabetes Insipidus, Cortical Vision Impairment, and mitochondrial disease. I was told that she was “born to die”. She added sunshine and completed a piece of our family that we didn’t know we were missing.
My children made me the mom that I am. I have become an outspoken advocate and “that mom” at IEP meetings. They are warriors and survivors. They taught me about unconditional love, strength, and grace. How to hold tight and let go. How to be ever bending and never breaking.
We lost my daughter a little over a year ago. It devastated our family. But her legacy lives on in my advocacy and writing.
I look forward to sharing with you all.

Taylor F
BUFFALOHi I’m Taylor! When I was 18 I met the love of my life on a dating app. One swipe and two months later we found out we were expecting our baby girl, Margot. Now here we are 2 years later, juggling motherhood, toddlerhood, relationships, and mental health. I have found that social media has been so helpful in providing a community where I can ask questions, find support, and know that I am not alone. My only goal is to provide that same type of community and support for each and every one of you. At the end of the day we’re all parents trying to raise good humans!

I grew up in coastal south Georgia and northern Florida and ended up in landlocked rural Ohio. Married at twenty one and a mother before my twenty second birthday, marriage and motherhood came at me in full force. I like to live life in color and soak up all the everyday mishaps and embrace them with positivity and humor. One of my favorite quotes has to be by Elbert Hubbard, "Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive." Because really could it be any more true?

PARK RIDGE, ILLINOISLooking back at my pregnancy, I remember all the questions and concerns I had. I remember researching just about anything google would give me and I still felt like I didn't know much, I still felt a void. So I figured, What better way to fill that void than to provide an honest platform to other moms or moms to be. I am constantly looking for new material to write about and I'd love to share that with all of you.

RED BLUFFMy name is Alyssa, I'm married to Theron and our daughter is Eliana Ray. We live in Northern California.
I am a work at home mom. My main source of income is as a professional hair and makeup artist for special events and weddings here in Nor Cal. I also write pieces for well known websites as well as my own blog, and I have an Etsy shop for sassy baby onesies and toddler tees.
I'm a huge advocate for mental health, mostly due to the fact that I have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole adult life. I'm very open about my feelings and struggles, not only for my own mental health but to maybe help someone else who might need an outlet.
I want to help build a community of mommas who support each other instead of tearing each other down or thinking you're better than the mom next to you. I try to achieve this through my Instagram and writing.
Motherhood can be hard and exhausting. But it's also magical. We are all doing our best to raise good humans, and we are all FAR from perfect. Let's talk about it and support each other.
Julie I
KANSAS CITYI'm a wife to a handsome hunk of a Soldier, a momma (to a little boy and fluffy pup), a dreamer, a go-getter, and an Army veteran turned photographer. When I'm not behind the lens, I love eating good food (I'm so spoiled because my husband is an excellent chef!), drinking good wine (and coffee!), and spending time with family and friends. I also love to travel, and my husband and I have a competition to see who can visit the most continents (so far we're tied with four each), but our fave place to vacay as a family is Disney World-- yes, we're those crazy Disney people! I'm a huge talker (and incapable of short stories), and I just adore capturing storytelling images for mommas of their babies for the years to come!

VALENCIA CITYOriginally from Australia, now settled in Spain, I kick-started my post-high school career by climbing the ladder in banking and finance. Until one day I decided that the world had to have more in store for me than sitting in an office day-in and day-out. So, I packed my bags and went solo-travelling around the world.
It was through this incredible experience that I re-discovered my passion for writing, for sharing my experiences and for inspiring others to follow their dreams.
It was also on this journey that life opened up a new door of adventure and opportunity; I fell in love, and I fell pregnant! Now, my passion for writing and inspiring has taken on a whole new meaning (and audience!).

Now I am at a crossroads where motherhood found me the day before Houston shut down for the pandemic, and while I’ve tried to “do it all”, I am learning what it means to stop and say no when I need to, ask for help when I can, and treasure the precious moments with my son before it’s too late.

GOLD COASTSo about me…..this is the part where I am supposed to tell you about me. Um..Well ok.
I am Jess. The Um Mum.
I have called myself the Um Mum for 2 reasons.
Firstly I say um about a billion times a day and I am acutely aware of it since it was pointed out at a speech I did a few years ago for a performance launch. I am convinced since then I have gotten considerably worse.
The second is I hear…um…mum from my 7 year old and toddler about a trillion times a day that now it’s just really my new adopted name in our house. Every single thing begins with…um…mum.
Anyway, like I said I am Jess and I am 33 years old with 4 Children, Byron 8, Evelyn 3, Elizabeth ( Zuzu) 18 months and baby Darcy. I have a beautiful, extraordinary husband whom I adore!
I have a background in performing arts as well as early childhood education and am currently studying nutrition. I like to keep busy! Our life changed when our eldest son was diagnosed with Autism, and from then our world burst into chaos, colour and took a whole new meaning. We are a tight little tribe and love sharing our journey on this cray ride called parenthood!

Andrea S
CAMP LEJEUNEI'm Andrea, currently living in on the coast of NC. I have an incredible supportive and loving husband, a toddler with a BIG personality, and a sweet fur-baby too! My husband, Andrew is in the Marine Corps which provides us with a great life but it also creates lots of adventures, friendships, and LOTS of moving but together we make the most of it no matter the circumstance. I'm by no means the most domesticated wife or mom out there, but since my "job title" is now a stay at home mom and housewife (which is the hardest job I've ever had), I am faking it till I make it. I'm a total skin nerd, I am a licensed esthetician in 3 states. I’m a storyteller with a camera when it comes to our life. I’ve battled and overcome an eating disorder called “sleep eating” (its eating in your sleep with no recollection) since then I have been published in fitness magazines for my 50-pound transformation story. After I had my daughter 3 years ago now, I decided to change directions with my page to focus on my little family, documenting our daily adventures, all while maintaining a healthy/fit lifestyle while keeping a balance and teaching her (and others) just how important SELF LOVE is no matter at what point in the journey you’re in.

Here’s a little about me; I’m French Canadian, my family is my everything, I love music, food, Fall and Winter, Mother Hood, country music, books and art!
From Montréal Quebec, I graduated from Fine Arts at Dawson College in 2008. Art is what kept me focused and helped me grow into the woman I’ve always envisioned myself to be.
On my Instagram page, I like to share fun learning through play activities and crafts for my children and yours! I love to encourage children’s development through play!
I Have an Etsy Shop where I share and create Resin art for children and Sensory boxes! I am also a self-published children’s book author, which you can also find in my shop!
So here I am, candidly sharing with you my art, crafts and learning through play activities I do with my children.
Motherhood has transformed me into the best possible version of myself. My children are my blessings, a God sent gift; they are the reason I push myself every single day, to be a better version of myself for them and to my family, but mostly to myself.
Have a beautiful day mamas❤️
Cheers!

KNOXVILLEHi! My name is Jess. I am a wife, a very soon-to-be mom of two (15 months apart), a dog mom of two, a full-time employee, a business owner, and a fitness fanatic. I am the story a former bodybuilding competitor turned mom. This passion had to be placed on hold with two back to back pregnancies but will soon be placed back on the priority list. The title of ‘busy mom’ is an understatement! However, I have made it a mission of mine over the past couple of years to learn how to better prioritize my time, money, and goals. Now I want to help other moms also learn how to become better organized and make the most out of their 24 hours.
