20 years ago, just when I was about to launch my company, I found out that I was pregnant. Should I table starting my own real estate business until my baby gets older and transition to a stay-at-home mom like a boss? That was my main question of that time. Definitely, the possibility of juggling baby with business seemed far from feasible. But I thought I should give it a try. It wasn’t easy, but I became a quite successful entrepreneur at my own risk. And I don’t regret a single minute of this experience. Want to know how I pulled the whole mompreneur thing off? Then I invite you to read my articles at our blog.
It’s no secret that being a working mom can take a serious toll on you. According to recent studies, about 90% of working moms suffer from health issues caused by high level of stress. In my articles, I will teach you some really helpful stress release techniques that really work. We will talk about establishing clear priorities and values, coping with the so-called working mother guilt, successful balancing of motherhood and work. Together, we will come to an understanding that there are no perfect moms. There are good ones. And I will share my secrets on how to be a good mom with you, based on my own successful experience.
Also, now that my older daughter is pregnant (something I’m way too excited about not to share with you guys!), she’s come across an issue of finding high quality baby gear. With a myriad of stroller types, cribs, baby carriers and infant car seats, finding a truly great baby item can make you feel a bit dizzy. So, as a woman who leaves no stone unturned on her way to helping her kids, I’ve gone into the issue of the best baby products out there. And I’m ready to share my product reviews with you here. Are you ready? Then head to my blog posts right away and ask me as many questions as you want. I will answer them all ASAP!

My husband and I have twin boys, Jesse and Tom. They are the apples of my eye, treasure of my life and… occasionally the pain in my ass. I love them more than candies; heck, I love them even more than ice-cream! ? I come from a small town in Maryland. As a kid, I helped my Mom a lot with my little brothers and sisters. When I was in college, I used to babysit a lot — and I really enjoyed it. Even back then I knew I’d have two kids minimum. I kinda felt it as well — must’ve been wishful thinking… And I’ve always enjoyed traveling the world. Venice was the first city I visited outside the US, and it just amazed me.

Hi there. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a beautiful 2 year-old boy called Matthew. I’m a positive thinker. I love my husband and I love my son dearly. I’m constantly working on spending quality time with my nearest and dearest doing my best to enrich my family with unconditional love. Also, I’m a big believer that women don’t have to give up on themselves and stop having the time of their lives because they’re moms. That’s why I do my best to take a little time for myself every single day.
Just like many new moms out there, I gained a lot of weight since I gave birth. That new body of mine didn’t make me feel comfortable at all. That’s why I decided that I should do something about it. I’ve now almost gotten my pre-baby body back, which has been very tough but worth it. Today, I’m learning to become a certified nutritionist to keep all the knowledge I’ve gained in order and share it with new moms who have similar problems.
I want to make it my mission to inspire women to create healthy eating habits and never forget about keeping fit. In my posts at EasyToBeMom.com, I will be sharing lots of tips on pregnancy nutrition, fitness, weight loss, parenting, motherhood as well as my healthy and delish no-sugar recipes. Staying healthy and keeping your body toned while raising kids can be a true challenge. I will help you with this in the best way I know how.
