Quick Bio: I am 32 years old, with two amazing boys that keep me very busy. I also run a youth organization called Young Champions of America. We offer cheer and karate programs to young children in the Dallas Metroplex. As of this year we will have 25 locations up and running, which is very exciting. I run the business out of my home which has been an amazing blessing and has allowed me to spend more time with my boys and has given me the flexibility to stay involved with all their school activities and everything they are involved with. Motherhood has truly been the most amazing thing I have experienced in my life and I might try for another one in a few years 🙂

Q: How do you balance being a Mommy and keeping your sense of self?
A: I always make sure to have “me” time, sometimes I just set my alarm for an 1 hour before everyone else gets up, I grab a cup of coffee and either watch a favorite show or just read. That 1 hour makes a world of difference and always seems to start my day feeling good. I will admit though my favorite me time, is mani/pedi or getting my hair done.

Q: What is your favorite piece of advice to new Moms?
A: BE PATIENT and Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are a now a mother which makes you AMAZING !

A: My other half is a personal trainer so I try and get a session of training in with him or go to the local gym and get a work out in while the kids are in school.

A: I love giving gifts and spoiling my boys. I know that is not always the best way but I love to reward them for everything they do.

A: Our favorite place is always going back to visit our friends in Arizona. I lived there for 12 years and although the move to Texas was so perfect for us we miss Arizona a lot.
