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. Download my two free gifts!  My Miracle Morning Drink keeps you full and literally melts off the baby weight.  I’ve used it daily and have lost 40+ lbs since baby number 2!  You’ll find the recipe inside.  Overcoming Overwhlem is full of actionable steps you can take right away to start bringing your life back into balance and significantly reduce stress.  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.
  2. Visit the About page to learn more about the Balancing Life as a Mom site, its mission, why I created it, and more about me personally.
  3. Visit the Get Started page.  Here you’ll learn about the different topics I cover and will find tips that you can implement today to start living your dream life!
  4. Check out the most recent Blog posts, either below or on the Blog page.  Here you’ll find a ton of great free content to help you get organized, live a healthy life, manage pregnancy, parent better, and learn to take some time for yourself!

Parenting What You Can’t Control

Last week was a mentally tricky week for me.  I was stressing out – to the point that I felt physically ill – and it was all because of a new parenting hurdle.  One that I didn’t think was going to hit yet, or bother me this much.  And it kept me from thinking clearly […]

4 Questions to Help Find Your Motivation

What do you want to change in your life?  It’s a simple question, but there’s so much behind it.    Honestly, no one is ever 100% happy with everything in their life.  Maybe you want to lose weight, change or advance in your career, make more money, get out of debt, manage the money you do have better, improve your […]

Sometimes You Just Need to Scream

There’s that famous line which we all know from our dating days when you are ready to move on from a relationship – “it’s not you, it’s me”.  Well, I had one of those days a few weeks ago with my kids.  I’m not sure exactly why, but I was not having a good day […]

Happy 4th Birthday Matthew!
