Calling all HOTmamas!

Welcome to our new blog.  The authors have been friends for almost half their lives.  With one being a seasoned mom for the past 7 years (3 gorgeous kids) and the other being new to this thing called motherhood (3 months into life with a 13 month old little boy from Ethiopia); we are trying to reclaim ourselves.  Remember those bi-monthly mani-pedis?  Remember keeping regular hair appointments?  Remember hot dates with your partner?  Remember girls nights out?  How do you keep being YOU, without the guilt of somehow not being the best mom possible?  The best wife/partner possible?  The best friend/daughter/sister possible?  Throw working part-to-full time into the mix and it becomes quite the balancing act, not for the faint at heart.
We don't know all the answers.  Heck, we likely don't know half the answers.  But we have STARTED the journey to reclaim a little SELF.  This blog will explore everything from family budgets to guilt-free date nights, to playgroups with a purpose to faith/spirituality and family to healthy living for you and your kids...and everything in between.
We are excited to have you follow along on this self-discovery, while we reclaim our inner HOT mama.  We hope you join us and find that piece of yourself you disgarded at the side of the motherhood road as well. We welcome your comments, observations, advice and support.
WELCOME.
