We have received some amazing nominations for Why Moms Matter.
We asked you to send us stories about the moms you know who are living ordinary, extraordinary lives. And you have amazed us. You’ve sent stories that have made us laugh out loud and some that have made us cry.
We’ve highlighted moms who have battled cancer, moms who have started their own businesses, moms who have inspired beautiful and amazing charity projects, moms who have stood by the bedsides of their children as they struggled with heart problems and cancer, and just last week we highlighted both a mom who had lost her sweet child and the many moms who surrounded that mom with love and support.
Most of the moms we have spoken to are well known among their friends, their home communities and some, quite popular in the ‘blog world’.
This week is a bit different.
You already know our highlighted mom. Well, not personally, but she has such a kind persona, you may feel like you do. But because she is a ‘celebrity’, you may wonder if she fits the ‘ordinary‘ portion of our ‘ordinary moms’ living extraordinary lives.
She does. But, to learn how, you will have to join us live today, Friday, for a special hour long show on Why Moms Matter on Blog Talk Radio at 12:30PDT/2:30CDT.
Kathy Ireland began her amazing career when she was only 17. She was first known as a model – one who spent 13 consecutive years on the pages of the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
She is now known for many more accomplishments – She is the CEO of Kathy Ireland Worldwide, an author of both children’s books and the newly released, Real Solutions for Busy Moms., a volunteer for many organizations and an active member of her church . But her proudest accomplishment is being a mom – and this is what makes her just like so many of us - ordinary.
Today, meet and understand Kathy Ireland as a Mom Who Matters. She does not yet know who nominated her – join us for the surprise introduction.
We will be talking to Kathy about balancing it all and her advice for moms. She has done the research – she is a mom and she has some suggestions you want to hear!
Do you have a question you would like us to ask Kathy? Please share it with us. We will do our best to cover everything you want to know. If we use your question, we will mention that YOU on the show!
As always, if you want to nominate a future Mom Who Matters, we would love to hear from you!
Nominated as a Mom Who Matters, by a close friend, Kathy is described as a mother of 3 who does it all, including, “school pick ups and drop offs, dance classes, guitar lessons, skateboarding, homework, school functions, church and being a Sunday school teacher“.
