The goal of this site is to inspire moms to set personal goals and follow their own dreams.

This blog celebrates moms who are doing all kinds of interesting things: starting charities, running marathons, opening business, taking art classes etc. By sharing the stories of these moms, Kristin Coons she hope is to develop a support network and inspire other moms to get started on their own dreams! www.theinspiredmom.com

Campaign to Encourage School Children to Eat Breakfast
Medical experts have been saying it for years: breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  While this statement might be familiar to most people, it’s a saying that kids and teens increasingly take for granted.  During an informal survey at Marshall High School in Los Angeles, for example, some students say they just don’t want to wake-up early to prepare breakfast.  Others say they would rather hang out with friends before school than line-up in the cafeteria.  But medical experts say school-age children are especially at risk when they skip breakfast.  Studies have shown that skipping breakfast puts them at an academic disadvantage because they do not have the nourishment necessary to perform well in school.  These kids could have shorter attention spans and lower test scores.  To remind kids and parents of the breakfast-performance connection for back-to-school, GOT MILK? is working with health professionals and school administrators throughout California to get the message out about starting the day off right with a quick, nutritious meal. “It’s cliché to say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it truly is,” says Registered Dietitian Connie Schneider of the University of California Cooperative Extension.  “Eating a nutritious breakfast increases energy, improves concentration and it could also help maintain healthy weight.” Health experts say eating a nutritious meal to start off the day could reduce the incidence of weight gain in children and teens.  Young people who eat breakfast tend to stay away from unhealthy snacking throughout the day, refraining from eating foods like chips and cookies that are high in calories, cholesterol and fat.  At a time when childhood obesity is at an all time high, Schneider says families need to go back to basics when it comes to nutrition. “Families need take a small amount of time, about three minutes, to prepare breakfast with fresh fruits, whole grains, and low fat or nonfat dairy like milk, yogurt and cheese,” says Schneider.  “As most of us know, it usually takes longer than three minutes to stand in line at a coffee shop or a convenience store to buy sugary muffins that are high in fat.  People who claim they don’t have time to prepare breakfast are precisely doing this.  But if families prepare breakfast at home, it can be well-balanced, time-efficient and even cheaper in most cases.” A Mayo Clinic article published in 2006 reports that one-third of children in this country are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight, totaling to about 25 million kids.  That number has doubled for children between the ages of 6 to 11 and has tripled for teenagers over the last two decades.  In the Hispanic community, a 2006 National Council of La Raza Fact Sheet reports that 39.3% of Mexican-American children (the largest Hispanic group in the US) ages 6 to 11 are overweight and 23.7% are obese – outnumbering African-Americans and Whites. To help parents and their children make breakfast a priority, GOT MILK? has posted fun, nutritious and easy-to-make recipe ideas on its Web site www.gotmilk.com.  From banana and berry smoothies to on-the-go granola, most of the breakfast meals can be done in three minutes or less.  Plus, the ingredient that binds them together adds nutrition a punch: good old fashioned milk.  The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children and teens consume at least three servings of low fat or nonfat dairy every day.  Breakfast is the perfect time to include milk in the diet, blending it with a fruit shake or even to compliment with cereal.  For more information on milk, nutrition and healthy breakfast ideas, visit www.gotmilk.com. The California Milk Processor Board was established in 1993 to make milk more competitive and increase milk consumption in California.  Awareness of GOT MILK? is over 90% nationally and it is considered one of the most important and successful campaigns in history.  GOT MILK? is a federally registered trademark that has been licensed by the national dairy boards since 1995.  The CMPB’s Spanish-language campaign began in 1994 using the tagline “Familia, Amor y Leche” (Family, Love and Milk).  The TOMA LECHE (Drink Milk) campaign replaced it in 2006, following a growing trend in Hispanic food advertising that uses wit and humor to reach audiences.  GOT MILK? gifts and recipes can be viewed at www.gotmilk.com and www.tomaleche.com.  The CMPB is funded by all California milk processors and administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

My nanny of 3 years is looking for additional part time work in the Moorpark or Camarillo area!  She currently works for us on weekday mornings and keeps me sane while I am working full time!  She comes over in the morning to make breakfast for the kids, gets them ready for school and drops them off – they love her to death.  Then she cleans up the house, does everyone’s laundry, and organizes the closets, garage and kitchen.  She also does errands for me, everything from post office and goodwill runs to shopping at the grocery store and Costco.  And she was an executive assistant in a past life, so she also does my office filing and organizing, purging years of paperwork and organizing everything!  Every once in a while, she goes through the kids’ toys to determine what might be good to donate.  Essentially, she is indispensible and I can’t live without her! She is currently looking to supplement the hours that she works for us by working in the Moorpark or Camarillo area, during the week and/or on the weekends.  She would be an excellent part-time nanny, personal assistant or housekeeper and can do for you all the things she does for me because she is so hardworking and dependable!  She would like to work for a minimum of 4 hours at a time, but could do so for as few as a day or two a week.  I am flexible with my schedule for her, so if you would need her longer, we could work out a mutually beneficial arrangement. Please let me know if you would like to share my wonderful resources, or know someone else who would!  You can email me moorparknanny at yahoo.com.

A happy home is a priority now more than ever. As an Interior Designer, Lauren Jacobsen would like to say to all you parents who hesitate that decorating is a luxury at this unsettled moment in the economy, your home is more important than ever, not a last priority in your budget, but a first. Why? Because now is the time to set a beautiful table and invite friends for dinner rather than go to a restaurant. Now is the time to create your own home theater, rather than try to get a sitter so you can go to the movies. And now is definitely the time to renovate a kitchen, a bath, or even add a room so the kids need not share, as Contractors are a lot less busy in this economy and more eager to please. Lauren Jacobsen make your home more functional, beautiful and the money you spend; well, it is money you will enjoy every single day. She is offering the members of Jen's List a free 1 hour consultation. Call for an appointment.

Reference from  Sarah Barrett  - After hearing about one of the handymen recommended on your list, I tried Joel Benoit!  He was amazing!!  He was always on time and did a great  job for me.  I wanted to let you and the rest of the mommies know how great  he is!  He can do big and small jobs.  He created a space for our  hammock so we didn't have to use the big, ugly hammock stand.  He also  fixed our outdoor brick BBQ and fixed the fan/light in our daughter's  bedroom.  He also builds bookcases!!   He is fantastic!
