Cincinnati Mom Collective

Hey local mommas! I grew up in Centerville, Ohio but I now live in Wilmington, Ohio with my husband Tony. Together we have 6 kids, Joe, and his wife Allison, Austin, and his wife Hannah, Sydney and her husband Hayden, Andrew and his wife Lauren and our littles, Max and Eli. Did I mention we are a little nuts starting over with this parenting thing when we are 45+? We are officially adding new titles to our names in 2022- Tiki and Jeep (our version of Grandma and Grandpa). My husband and I are both ministers, and we get to work together in a local church. We were both married before and brought our families together in 2010. After a few years of marriage we felt God's leading for us to adopt. We added Max to our family in 2014 and Eli joined us in 2017, our quiver is officially full! Blending our family has been an adventure! Add some ex-spouses and two birth mommas and we have ourselves a crazy crew! Coffee is my love language. The beach is my happy place and I long to have my toes in the sand.

A dog mom and a boy mom, Courtney loves to write and share her stories with other moms!

I was born in New York and lived in several states before settling down in my favorite city of all time – Cincinnati! I have an interracial family that consists of my amazing and talented husband (Derek) and our beautiful, silly daughter (Adilyn {2009}). I work full-time in Human Resources in addition to owning the Cincinnati, Dayton, & Louisville Mom Collectives, write and illustrate children’s books, love to volunteer, and am a registered and certified nutritional consultant (RNC/CNC). I still do my best to be the best mom and wife I can be! I love art museums, the theatre, reading, and Cincinnati parks. I’m a foodie and always love trying new places to eat. I hope other moms find either enlightenment or humor from my posts!

Hi, mamas! I’m Emily, born and raised in Springfield, Ohio, and now raising my family in the Champion City. I’m married to my college sweetheart (he’s from Springfield, too, and we knew each other in high school, but we didn’t make it Facebook official until our freshman year at Ohio State). We’re proud parents of a precious yet oh-so-rotten baby boy, MJ (b. November 2016), and a fur baby named Bentley. Needless to say, I am the queen of our household! I work full-time as a PR pro for a marketing-communication agency and am always striving to find the perfect work-life balance. I’m a Joanna Gaines wannabe, lover of all things rose gold and a self-diagnosed Target addict… I mean c’mon, what mama isn’t?! Photo Credit :: Live Pretty Darling

Living the crazy #momlife with two school-aged kiddos. You can mostly find me with coffee in one hand and a laptop in the other, all while trying to teach both kids! But, we are moms, right? Multitasking is the name of the game. I'm excited to share this experience with you all! Photo Credit :: CJS Photography

I live in Dayton, OH with my husband, Jordan, our daughter Samantha (2017) and our German Shepherd, Leia (2016). We will be adding to our family in February 2022 as our second daughter is on her way! My family is originally from the Dayton area although my dad’s job with the Air Force took us all over the country (even overseas for a bit). I have a background in Sales and Marketing and am thrilled to be part of the CMC team! My hobbies include slow walks down the aisle of just about any store! Photo Credit :: CJS Photography
