The Real Job of Moms
March 5, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Here is the conclusion from a Focus on the Family article by Tim Sanford called The Real Job of Moms. He ends with a MOMentous Health message: “When momma’s healthy, everybody benefits.”
Before you feel burdened with a mile-long list you can never follow through on, let me be quick to say that nurturing is not about “doing it all” or doing it perfectly. It’s about doing the best you can — without losing yourself or driving yourself crazy because your own needs aren’t taken care of. You won’t be able to nurture your children if you’re exhausted from burning the candle at both ends.
So please take care of yourself, too.

MISSION: shaping a better world — one mom at a time.
VISION: encouraging moms to pursue their passions.
“When Momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy.”
We laugh, but MOMentous Health recognizes this truth and serves as a motherly reminder that moms are a momentous force to the health of our world––a force not to be taken lightly.
When we are more intentional in nourishing ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually, we find peace and power in our purpose. We become real. Authentic. And we persevere through life. And while momentous moms embrace total fitness, we also value our highs and lows, giving ourselves grace to be imperfect. It’s motherhood at its best.
Through healthful resources, MOMentous events, and purposeful products, MOMentous Health promotes optimal fitness in spirit, mind, and body––ultimately encouraging moms to pursue their passions.
When Momma’s healthy, everybody benefits.
