When I first met Ari we talked about essential oils; a girl after my heart who doesn’t look at me like I have two heads when I talked about natural remedies. If you like a greener, cleaner lifestyle definitely follow Ari’s blog and Instagram. She’s also a boss. She’s the CEO of ShiftCon, an eco-wellness influencer conference. A lot of major brands and influencers in the eco-wellness industry attend the conference.

Specifically I like this article on Dellah’s Jubilation about helping your kids and tweens deal with anxiety. My middle child really struggles with anxiety so any tips I can grab are always a huge help to me. Plus she has other  articles on fun family things to do from Disney reviews to game nights.

Moms ‘N Charge 

Moms 'N Charge

I met Christine on a press trip to Pixar Studios for INCREDIBLES 2. She has this infectious laugh and smile when I think about her I just remember all the laughter we shared. She also has a really great blog where she helps moms figure out how to love themselves first. (wink wink…very similar to Me Before Mom, huh?) She also has a media group called Purpose Driven Media Group where she helps entrepreneurs navigate social media. Oh and her kids are crazy talented (apple does not fall far from the tree does it?). There is so much content on her site that I’m honestly not doing it any justice so you need to follow her…like now. Moms ‘N Charge and on Instagram @momsncharge.

Anitra has talented kids. I mean really talented and yet her kids are grounded.

She also talks about her marriage which I appreciate. Check out her blog The Mom on the Move and she has a store with a good resources for families, Blissful Family.

I met Diedre a few years ago in a mastermind kind of group and she is wise beyond her years. As a middle school guidance counselor she has a way of helping you understand developmentally what’s going on with those awkward tween and teen years. She also speaks candidly about race and life in an interracial marriage. I love her most recent article Living While Black: The Day to Day Plight of Black Women. Check her out on her blog and her Instagram @arethoseyourkids.
