As a widow (to an adventurous husband I adored for almost 26 years) with 3 kids and 3 dogs - planning and attending our amazing "momferences" that I can enjoy with others is something that brings me so much happiness! That and my "village" of friends, my boyfriend and my family who help me get it all done - oh, and wine...and coffee!
As a mom of 4, life is never boring! Watching my kids step into adulthood is equal parts crazy and amazing, and I’m here with coffee in one hand and sangria in the other cheering them on.
I’m a proud cancer and stroke survivor, and I’ve battled Crohn’s Disease since I was 26. These health battles fuel my passion to share openly and connect with others walking through their own journeys.
After 15+ years as a pediatric nurse and a short season in retail; I went to my first conference in AZ — a trip that changed my life! That experience opened the door to one of my greatest blessings: BLOOM! It has given me purpose, connection, and a community like no other. My aunt — who is also one of my best friends + greatest inspirations — has built something incredible: a space for women to come together, lift each other up, and remind one another we’re never walking alone! .
As a mom of 3, wife to an amazing husband, and an engineer - I am fueled by smiles, excel spreadsheets, coffee and LaCroix. I need this “momference” more than anything and it brings me joy to play a part in helping other moms experience that inspiration and rejuvenation, too.
I am a mom to 2 wonderful daughters, wife to a great hubby and “mama” to 2 dogs. I’ve always loved art, design and fashion so when I picked up a camera, my love for photography became the creative outlet I needed. I’m a chaser of good light. This means we’ll move around during a session, and I love capturing the “in-between.” It’s where real life happens. It’s been 15+ years, and technology and styles are always changing, evolving and feeding my creative brain. I’m still loving it. I’ve known Kels since we were 12…I love being her sidekick and photographing her inspiring events and the connections she creates.
I’m a wife and mom of 2 boys with a little girl on the way- there’s never a dull moment in our house! We share all of our adventures at @momwhatsnextspokane on Instagram. I have a passion for helping and connecting with moms as a Pediatric Sleep Specialist and Potty Training Consultant. Helping plan and execute events that brings moms together gives me joy! I’ve learned it’s important to find MY tribe because you don’t have to do life alone!
This Pennsylvania girl moved from the Billy Joel song “Allentown” and drove across the nation to Seattle, where I met a man named Sean Allen. Seemed like a fitting last name, so I married him :). We have something like 6,000 children now, I mean 6, and I have surprised myself with even being a mom at all. Raised by a single dad from an early age, I never even wanted to get married or be a mom…oh, the irony of life! Yet, I am convinced that the title of mother is the best thing I could have done with my body, my time and my heart. And if I can encourage other moms of their invaluable role, just so that another child does not have to feel what I did as one, well then - I’ll call it a good day! Cheers to the motherhood band of women, showing up everyday for all who call you MOM.
