Cincinnati Mom Collective

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 :: Hannah Mohler

Aside from photography, I love all Italian food, and could eat pizza every day. Coffee, IPAs, and country music are my jam. I am a travel enthusiast, a lover of people and new experiences, and am genuinely interested in getting to know you and your story (a true Ennegram 7!). My happy place is barefoot, in sweats, and cuddled up with my people. Also, Target. My greatest title in life is mama, and I try to be the best example I can be every day for my babes. They are my reason.
