So here you are in The Marvelous Moms Club. And you might be wondering, "Hey! What IS a Marvelous mom anyway? Am I one?" Well today I'm breaking down my version of Marvelous and what I think each letter of that marvelous word stands for!

M- Miraculous A- Aware R- Receptive V- Vulnerable E- Excited! L-Learning O-Open U- Understanding and S-SMILING! Listen to how I break each one of these down today and leave a comment below if you think you are MARVELOUS!

Megan was a delight- totally inspiring and one of those moms you're like wait WHAT you have endured that? You have done that? WOW. Way more than I bargained for when I asked you to be on the podcast! She was sent to me via Candace, who was on the podcast a couple of weeks ago! These girls are such cool girls and I'm so amazed at what they are doing in the blogging and business world!

Jayna- AKA Supermom was so delightful to chat with about being a newbie mom, the challenges of kids with food allergies (ok that's not glamorous but it's important!) and leveling up when it comes to phases of motherhood.

love how Chrystie became a blogger in the days of what she refers to as "The internet wild west". A true pioneer in blogging she has come a long way since her first blog and has since sold 4 blogs. Sold blogs? Yep, that's right-sold. She worked hard to create a solid product and following and sold them! Her most recent blog landed her on Extreme Couponing, which is SO COOL!

This interview...this one was for me. You guys are welcome to enjoy it as well but it was exactly what I needed to hear when Erika chatted with me on Skype. It's always refreshing to realize there are amazing moms out there like Erika! Moms who's perspective needs to be shared more often!

Beth is a long time friend, and someone who before she even know who I was, was a person I admired. She has always had such a beautiful energy and spirit and on top of that, she's a radiant beauty. (She had those killer eyelashes long before you could go get fake ones, and is the reason people get them- to have killer eyes like her).  I knew she's be an incredible mom, and I was right.

Oh my sweet Parker how I love you. I'll never forget our conversation tonight, one sided as it may have been. And it was the BEST side that got to talk. I loved hearing your thoughts, the way you remember things, and how excited you were to talk about the things you love.

Lane is one of those women you learn about and you look at your own life and think...what have I been doing? If she can do all these amazing things, can't I? The answer is YES! You are capable of MARVELOUS things!

"In even just a couple of years I'm not going to be saying, put on your shoes- get in the car! I realize that this time is special. The awareness and presence I have is a gift within itself."
