What makes a Hot Mamma? Positive energy, inner beauty (and let’s face it- when someone has inner beauty, they also have outer beauty), someone who balances life well, and no matter what life throws at them- they see the glass half full. Our Hot Mamma’s are working moms who “have it all”- family, career and happiness. And in true OCMAMMA style- our Hot Mamma’s are also…HOT.

Description of company you own or work for: I provide in-home fitness training for women, and I specialize in training mothers with young children. I train you in your own home, and your kids are welcome to be with us during the training sessions. My goal is for you to become independent with all the exercises so that at the end of our training you have an at-home program you can continue on your own.
How does your business help other moms and/or kids? I provide an opportunity for mothers to do something good for themselves while also caring for their children at home. Mom gets to exercise and lose weight, and the kids get to avoid the gym daycare. It also helps teach children that exercise is important and fun!
How do you balance work and kids? I work while my kids are in school; Monday through Friday, 9:00 - 2:00. This gives me a chance to enjoy my career and still be here for my kids when they're home. It works great as long as the kids stay healthy. When they're sick my husband and I rearrange our schedules so one of us can be home with them.
What is your favorite activity with your kiddos? I love to put on some music and dance around with them in our exercise room. They're so fun and spirited, jumping around and laughing at themselves in the mirror!
What is one piece of advice that you could share with other mom’s? Take care of yourself (i.e., sleep, exercise, have some quiet time when you can) while also taking care of your kids. Recruit help from family, friends, and professionals to make that possible. If you neglect your own needs you will be running on empty and not fully enjoy your time with the people you love.
What is your favorite online site for kids or moms? OCMamma, of course!
What is one of your favorite books about parenting? Siblings Without Rivalry by Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish.
What is your biggest guilty pleasure? Sitting on the couch and watching a good chick flick. I'm usually pretty active, but it is great therapy to sometimes sit still and do nothing!
If you won the lotto today, what would be the first thing you would spend money on? (assuming you have to buy yourself something.. I know, it is a stretch) For myself I'd buy a new road bike and go cycle around a beautiful country, like Ireland. More importantly, I'd use the money to create educational opportunities for children who don't have them.
