BCM - How did your life change when you became a mom?

BCM - What has been your most memorable moment (s) as a mom?

Kelly - The birth of my two children- their arrival into this world.  We sometimes forget the miracle of birth. extraordinary. the first time they each looked up at me and smiled.

BCM - What has been the biggest challenge for you in motherhood?

Kelly - It is a daily challenge for moms today. We are expected to do so much give birth, nurse ( pump), go back to work right away and in some cases be the only financial support  for our children.  We adjust the best we can- making the highest best choices we can. it takes a lot of balance and prioritizing. It is a full day!

BCM - How do you manage your career while being a great mother? Any advice for moms?

Kelly -My advice is to breathe. The more we plan the better and helps us deal with the spontaneity that we must have as mothers.  To be the mother we want to be  is a journey of learning. Be the individual you are. We all have different lifestyles and so we adapt and the kids do too. I do my best to make things fun. When it gets intense go for a walk and when the children get intense I do my best to distract them with a project or a great story etc.  There will always be moments so all stages /ages we have to look for a positive way to deal  with our children .

BCM - What types of activities do you like to do w/ your kids?

Kelly - The activities i love to do are mostly outdoors - going to the park. playing music everything from the arts museums or painting. We make up fun things all the time. we cuddle a lot and watch diego or little laurette.
