"Our mission is simple. Connect women globally so they can collaborate, inspire and support each other in their work. We know there are many resources out there for kids, what to buy for them, what to do with them, how to raise them and how not to. We’re not about that here.

heymama is the place for a mama to focus on things that fuel her, and her passions.Our content will be focused on the voice of the creative mother, brand builder, risk taker and go-getter."

WAIT SAY WHAT... These ladies wanted to Feature ME? The mom with all these hopes, all these dreams, but with her hair all a mess and no snacks or extra pants packed in the diaper bag. I'll be the first to admit that on instagram it looks like life is pretty good over here in toddler town, but most days I just seem to be treading water.

Running a photography business, trying to keep up with The Refined Woman, keeping my tiny human alive and fed and out of the tv cords, oh and starting a new styling business in my spare time. Really guys, it's a hot mess. I'm working this thing out day by day and with much toil and tears and coffee and snuggles from my hubby and FRIENDS replaying on Netflix and beer. I am not sleeping enough, that's for sure.

But then again, I can't see myself living any other life right now. My babe inspires me to be more and do more somehow. Days that I have away to work at things that fill my creative passion gives me strength to be all there for her those other days. Not that I don't have my moments. If you have kids you know exactly what I mean. Plus last month my nanny moved and every daycare in the Bay Area has a 12 month waiting list..... really though. What is this world.

So here I am, making things work as a mom. I'd like to start sharing more of my mom life here but I think I want to know, what do you want to know? I'm an open book. Give me some prompts and I will start writing. I'm here for you, whether you're a mom or single or a photographer or a stylist or a blogger or just a woman who wants to know what to pair with her boyfriend jeans. Hit me.In the meantime, check out my interview on Hey Mama. It was a real treat.

XO,
