All month our theme has been All About Moms.  We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up the month than to celebrate with the First Lady – and we like to think First Mom – of Virginia Maureen McDonnell on Memorial Day!

Maureen McDonnell has been married to Governor Bob McDonnell for 35 years, is a mother of five, and an owner of a small business.  She is one busy woman and mom just like so many of our girlfriend listeners! 

She also has a passion for supporting military families - so much so that she jumped out of an airplane to raise awareness for her Serving Our Service Military Families (SOS) initiative!  See the video below.

Today on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we’re talking with the First Lady about how she juggles it all, what her SOS initiative is all about, and what it was like to jump out of an airplane.

 

The Perfect Mom Paradox

“While all moms know perfection isn’t possible, most moms find it impossible to say no” says Katherine Wintsch, founder of The Mom Complex.  She’s all about helping moms and marketers become perfectly OK with being imperfect.  Let’s hear it for being imperfect!

Today on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we talked with Katherine to understand more about the Mom Complex and what she calls the Perfect Mom Paradox.  Plus, she shared the five lies we’ve all heard from our own mothers that can keep moms (and all women) in the perfection trap.

Making Life a Little Easier for Moms

We all know that moms are some of the busiest people in the world because they are juggling so much – careers, kids, spouses, houses, and even aging parents.  The constant juggle can wear us out, stress us out, and make us long to chill out. 

If you feel the motherload, you need to know about the Motherboard.  Seriously!

Today at 3 pm Eastern on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we’re talking with Maureen Petrosky, national lifestyle expert and spokeswoman for theMotherboard.com, a fabulous website where women gather to share mom-trusted advice and get expert-tested tips on everything from parenting challenges to lowering stress to shopping tips to a quick fix for dinner.

 

Mother’s Day with Funny Mom Anita Renfroe

Happy Mother's Day!  Today on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we’re talking with musical comedian, and mother of three Anita Renfroe.  You may remember Anita’s hilarious You Tube video called the Momsong of her singing everything a mother says to her children in a single day to the tune of the William Tell Overture in less than 3 minutes! 

Since then she become a comedy contributor for Good Morning America, filmed her latest DVD Big Ole Sweet Iced Tea, and just released an updated, rapp version of Momsong called “In Tha Mathuhood.”

 

   

Being a StyleMom

We can’t think of May without thinking of moms - - and if you’re a mom, it’s better when everyone else in your life doesn’t forget either!  To celebrate moms everywhere, this month’s show theme is “All About Moms.”

Today on Girlfriend We Gotta Talk radio show, we talked with Nichelle Pace, founder of Stylemom.com.  After 15 years of experiences in the fashion and beauty industry, Nichelle founded Stylemom.com and has become a voice for moms who believe that just because you have children, you don’t have to give up your sense of style.  

We had a fun time as she shared how to find out easy, budget-sensitive ways that moms (and every woman) can stay stylish and feel great about it!
