The Mom’s who made up MommyWho.com: Aimee & Candice
Aimee
I’m a woman, wife, friend, photgrapher, business owner, daughter, sister, and MOM. It’s the mom part that has brought me here.
Sitting in nursery one Sunday morning, listening and joining in the light hearted conversation about early morning efforts of getting everyone to church in one peice, it dawned on me. I’m not alone. Despite the well groomed children of my super savvy friends, I realized I wasn’t the only one treading water. Yes, some of us can only doggy paddle and others can breast stroke, but we’re all just trying to make it to the other side of the pool.
We were all trying to figure out the blue prints of building our little family life while actually building it. And so, my brain sputtered out some dust and began to click and turn. What do I need most… What would help me get through this thing called motherhood and still maintain all the other facets of life… (besides a clone… or a few clones of myself).
And so I set out… to let other’s know they aren’t alone. I’m out here struggling just like you. I’m trying things, failing at things. Getting by and sometimes just barely. Here’s what worked, what hasn’t, and hopefully a few things to make it just a little easier for you!
Us mom’s are a force to be reckoned with, and it’s about time we organized and threw our weight around! So for all of you who jumped into the water and are making your way across, come join us on our wimpy raft. Together we can all do it!
Celebrating mom’s everywhere, I tip my hat to the one who impacted me the most…
MY MOM! I LOVE YOU!

Okay so just 13 months ago I was the most important part of everyone else’s lives…I was pregnant! Oh yes, “How are you Candice? Can I get you anything? Oh my gosh you look so cute! I got YOU a little something!” Well, let me just say that all changed as soon as that little girl was pulled out of my body. (Yes, I said pulled, ladies I feel your pain).
Now I get pushed aside so as not to block other’s view of my baby girl. Candice who?Where’s the baby? Who came blame them, she is ridiciously gorgeous!
So now I am my daughter’s mom, my husband’s wife and yet I am still me. I still hate to work out, love to eat ice cream, enjoy my husband’s kisses and wish I could afford to get pedicures every week.
I have to say being a mommy is truly the BEST. I admit I am a spoiled mom. My kid was sleeping 10 hours a night at 3 months old, she loves having her diaper changed, rarely spits up and takes a pacie like a champ. But I still have questions, still need help, and still sometimes wonder how we managed to escape the hospital with our baby in tow. No test, no observation period, just sign on the dotted line and she is yours for the rest of your life! Now what? Now there is me a stay-at-home mom trying to make it all work. So, I need your help.
How am I going to wein my child off her pacie? What happens when she out grows her swing and won’t take a nap? I am just starting out on the roller coaster of motherhood and could use a little direction. At the same time I’ve got something to offer this world to. So stay tuned we’ve got the rest of our lives to figure out this thing called motherhood!
