You may know her for her face and her body. Her modeling career began when she was only 17. She was featured in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 13 consecutive years.
Hopefully you know her for her business savvy. She is the CEO of Kathy Ireland Worldwide. Her brand includes everything from furniture t0 home goods to clothing to fitness videos.
This Friday, meet and understand Kathy Ireland as a Mom Who Matters.
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“.
This is, of course, all on top of being a CEO, a regular volunteer for several organizations and the author of a new book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms.
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 advice!
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 wanted to know!
And then join us live on Friday for a special hour long show on Why Moms Matter on Blog Talk Radio at 12:30PDT/2:30CDT.
If you want to nominate a future Mom Who Matters, we would love to hear from you!
Nine years ago, Trina Pockett at the doctor for a routine pregnancy check up. She was 4 months pregnant with her second child, a daughter, Kate.
She had 2 months of treatment while she was pregnant. After she gave birth to Kate, she settled in for chemo and radiation.
“The kids were an absolute blessing to me because they gave me a sense of purpose. On the days when I was most tired and discouraged, the kids gave me a sense of purpose. Even though I was sick, they still needed a mom.”
This difficult journey changed Trina as a parent, “. There are days that I watch my children and in awe that I get to be their mom. It is a true joy. I have tried to instill into them the importance of making the most of each day. I want them to pursue their goals and dreams. ”
And it is not a forum for selling a new product. We would LOVE to see your photographic interpretation of Moms and Why They Matter. Be Creative – shoot from your hip – shoot from your heart. Pictures can include moms or grandmothers, toddlers or teens, even animals. You can showcase inanimate objects. The only requirement – show us Why Moms Matter.
The crews from MomFaves.com and ExtraordinaryMommy.com will be deciding on the winning photographs. Good luck and thank you for helping us to prove Moms Matter.
And so began Sandie’s journey to save her child through prayer, nutrition and supplements. (In addition to traditional treatment of chemo and radiation.)
Nichole told me a story that illustrates the kind of mother Chrissy is: On Halloween, before her transplant, Zoe became too weak to walk door to door, and yet, like most children she didn’t want the magic of the night to end. She wanted to continue trick-or-treating. Rather than taking her home, Chrissy pulled her 6 year old daughter on to her back and carried her from one home to the next.
My mental hip checks are ALWAYS a reminder to focus on what truly matters. To me, being a Mommy absolutely matters. And when you see this sitting on your couch, and she says, “Mommy, will you snuggle with me?” You know that this very moment - it matters. Work can wait. Deadlines can wait. Your little girl? No waiting.
