Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog! This is my About page. If you are a brand rep, you may be interested in my Advertising Page.
My name is Lena.
I’m a CPA turned stay-at-home-mom of 3 little boogers ages 4, 6, and 8.
By day I stay at home with my kids and serve on the board of a local non-profit that feeds hungry children over the weekend (now that my 3-year-term has ended, I’m back at home full time and focusing on my blog when I’m not running from one kids activity to another! 😀
As my schedule allows, I blog about family finance, kids activities, fun with kids, holidays, and fitness. I also like to write about ways to give back and finding time for yourself in the midst of motherhood (which I know is nearly impossible some days).
My my real passion is FINANCIAL LITERACY (I’m a licensed CPA). I like helping other moms figure out ways to save money and contribute to household income, manage the family’s budget, and in general handle the ups and downs of home life.
Above all, WhatMommyDoes is all about “Helping Every Mom Feel Successful”
I think we need to protect our confidence as moms now more than ever. After we browse our friends’ “best of” Facebook feeds, save a million pins we will never take action on, feel frazzled from activities, take hundreds of pictures that end up sitting on our hard drives, and just in general run ourselves ragged from being mom…we need a way to feel good about the efforts we are making to raise our little ones.
Because WE’RE ALL DOING IT RIGHT – in our own unique way – and it’s unrealistic to expect perfection!
Whether you are feeling down on yourself about your ability to discipline your children in a firm but gentle way, contribute to the household income, make memories with your family, get a healthy meal on the table each evening, stick to a Bible study regimen, or just take care of yourself, that’s where WhatMommyDoes comes in.
My goal: to provide PRACTICAL strategies for winning at this mom thing.
When everything seems to working against you (temper tantrums, kids getting sick, volunteer requests coming in from left field, etc), I want to give you the tools you need to feel in control of your life. Nothing about being a mom is predictable….but at least we can be prepared!
