About the Author

My name is Kristin Coons and I started The Inspired Mom to celebrate all of you moms who are out there following your dreams.  Being a mom is the most important job that any of us will ever have.  Finding time to pursue personal goals seems secondary to taking care of a family.  But, I believe that finding the time for personal goals makes being a mom easier and more enjoyable- for everyone involved.

My boys are 2, 5, and 6 years.  After giving birth to my second son I realized that taking time to myself was not a selfish act, rather it was a necessity.  Once I got used to allocating 2-3 hours to myself per week, I started feeling less guilty about being away and started to enjoy the time I was spending with my boys more.  By the time I gave birth to my third son, I was accustomed to taking “me time”.

Now that I have been doing the “me” thing for 3 years or so, I wanted to dedicate that time to some productive endeavors.  Here are some of the things I am working on:

Training for a Triathlon

Writing a blog (The Inspired Mom).

Developing an online baby book.

Each one of us has a dream in our heart that we can explore.  What is yours?  I hope I can inspire at least one of my readers to take action that will help you turn your dream into a reality.
