Q & A
What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood is the greatest honor I could ever have. For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to have a family, and I feel like the luckiest mom in the world to have the family I do. Each of my children has shaped who I am today and they have taught me the true meaning of unconditional love. I would protect my children with my life...I cherish each and every moment I have with them. There are so many times I have wanted nothing more than to stop time, but I know that is selfish. More than anything, I want to be a positive role model for my children, so that they can grow up to be the best versions of themselves that they can possibly be.
What's your favorite memory with your children?
Favorite memory with my kids? There are so many! The one I remember most is when my first daughter was born. I knew the moment I held her for the first time what love at first sight truly meant.
What's the ultimate Mother's Day gift?
The ultimate Mother's Day gift: A day of peace and quiet when my kids decide not to fight tooth and nail.
What's your go-to mom uniform?
When I'm not dressing professionally or taking pictures for my blog, I can be seen in yoga pants and a yoga top, with my hair in a ponytail or bun.
Which dress from our collection represents your mothering style?
The Marlene Dress! The floral design is cheerful, fun and whimsical, and this is how I try to be with my kids when I am at my best.

Q & A
What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood means so much! There are so many different layers: leadership, love, sacrifice, worry, and unconditional acceptance.
What's your favorite memory with your children?
My favorite memories are the small little details in life. Watching them connect and play with each other is pure joy! Eating together as a family is one of my favorite times of the day because we let go of the distractions and talk to each other. I also am really loving putting my baby to bed. She's become such a little snuggler and when she leans in to give me a kiss, my heart melts!
What's the ultimate Mother's Day gift?
For me, it's a break. When I became a mom, I didn't grasp the reality that it's a 24/7 job...and don't get me wrong, I love it, but I don't get a lot of time to just relax and enjoy me. A couple hours of "me" time helps me recharge and renew my spirit. I covet those few chances I get to have that.
What's your go-to mom uniform?
I am a sucker for jeans, a white tee and cute sandals or sneakers. I usually jazz it up with cute fun gold jewelry. It's so easy to walk out in style with those few pieces on.
Which dress from our collection represents your mothering style?
The moment I saw it, it spoke to me! The Melrose is perfect for me. It accentuates all the right places and I love the bold flowers and two colors! It goes perfectly with my personality and my mothering style!

Q & A
What does motherhood mean to you?
Motherhood is the ultimate love and sacrifice. From the moment you find out you're pregnant, you completely turn yourself and your body over to your children.
What's your favorite memory with your children?
The day my children met their baby brother is a moment I will cherish forever. I will never forget them coming in and watching them...a little shy and nervous. In that hospital room, we all felt strongly that our lives had just been changed for the better.
What's the ultimate Mother's Day gift?
I love sentimental, timeless Mother's Day gifts. This year I am asking for a motherhood charm bracelet with my children's names and birthdays on it.
What's your go-to mom uniform?
I am a dress or skirt kind of mom. They are forgiving and easy to just throw on. At the moment, I love a good jersey knit skirt or a button down dress. I try to be functional and presentable.
Which dress from our collection represents your mothering style?
Maggy London wrap dresses have been amazing through my child bearing years. Easy to grow in, nurse in, dress up in and feel beautiful in.
