Inspiring Moms
Moms are busier now than they've ever been. Driving carpools, shopping for groceries, running a business, paying bills, helping with homework, keeping up on laundry, attending PTA meetings, planning vacations, watching kids' events, scheduling doctor appointments, making dinner, going to parent-teacher conferences, cleaning the house, earning money, taking care of sick kids--the list goes on and the tasks are there day after day. Only a superhero could keep up with all that, right? Well, a superhero or a mom.
At Mommy High Five, we feel it's important to celebrate motherhood and the moms who are impacting the world. Our hope is that we can encourage, uplift, and inspire moms by highlighting mothers who are doing extraordinary things.
We interview moms from across the world who are entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes, musicians, healthcare workers, non-profit starters, stay-at-home moms, and many more. You will find these stories on our website as well as on our podcast "Inspiring Moms". If you or someone you know would like to share her inspiring story with us, please contact us at inspiringmoms@mommyhighfive.com.
