Lesley, Matthew & Emma - Balancing Life as a MomHi, I’m Lesley!  Founder and creator of Balancing Life as a Mom.  

My initial first year of parenting was a major learning curve, but I’ve finally figured out sustainable ways to turn my mom life into the life I love and always dreamed of!

Being a mom can be so much more than being constantly exhausted, stressed out, and overwhelmed.  

You can have your life that you love – which includes activities that you enjoy and make you feel your best.  It can include getting your health and your body back after pregnancy and all the sleepless nights take their toll.  It can also include an organized home – even with kids running around in it.  And it can include a fantastic relationship with your spouse – kids don’t have to kill the romance.

And I’m happy to help show you how!

There are four ways to get started:

  1. Sign up for the FREE guide as found in the box above (or by following the link) – Overcoming Overwhelm:  9 Key Areas to Find Balance and Bring You to the Life You Deserve!  This guide is full of actionable steps you can take right away to start bringing your life back into balance and significantly reduce the stress in your life.  It doesn’t matter what parenting stage you are in, this guide can help anyone who feels like they have too much on their plate.

Potty Training Your Child: Part 1 – Matthew

Potty training (or the more politically correct toilet training) of your children – for some reason, this is something that really intimidated me as a first-time mom.  When we got to the point that I thought we should start trying to potty train Matthew, I knew in my heart that it was the next big […]

The Simple Joy of Holding Your Child

As a mom, do you ever feel completely overwhelmed with the one-thousand things on your to-do list each day?  I know I do.  And it feels like the list never ends!  The instant I complete one project, another one (or two!) get added onto the list.  Just keeping up with the minimums that need to […]

Clear the Clutter, Clear Your Mind

Decluttering.  This is a topic I like to touch on every now and again – especially when I get to a point in my own life where it needs to be done!  (Things will always accumulate – especially when you have kids.  The only way it’s going to go the other way is if you […]

Our 5-Year Wedding Anniversary!

This year Rob and I celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary!  Normally we don’t do a lot to celebrate our anniversary – we just take care of the kids and have a family day together.  But this year since it was for our 5 year, I wanted to make sure that we got away and had […]

When Life is Out of Balance

Balancing life as a mom – that’s the title of this blog.  And as much as I generally do a good job of this, it’s impossible to have life in a perfect balance all the time!  So what do you do when life gets out of balance?  How do you choose to respond to an interruption […]

Using Spices for Health & Weight Loss: Basil

As I’ve developed my culinary skills over the years, I’ve learned about the magic of incorporating spices into my foods.  And I love these magic compounds for 3 main reasons:  Spices impart amazing flavor to your foods!  Being a self-described foodie, I love to try new foods, and it’s super important to me that my […]
