As a self-employed wife and mother of 7 who is active in ministry adn whe=(as worship leader of 3 churches, and Director of Children and Youth Ministry an , people often ask me "How do I do it." My response has always been, "It's by the Grace of God..." because it is!
Since the birth of my first child, my transition into motherhood has (fortunately, and to no credit of my own) come with ease. I've often wondered if it was due to the fact that my very first job (at the age of 14) was at a church day care, where I shared responsibility for the 0-18 month class ("Where they do that at")?...
​
...Or was it due to the fact that also at the age of 14, I became an aunt of a beautiful niece who was raised in the same home with me?
...Could it be that I myself have an amazing mom who taught me through example what a "good mom" is?
...No, wait...perhaps it comes from my determination to succeed in everything that I do, mostly because of my underlying fears of failure?
​
Truthfully, I believe it's because of ALL of those reasons. Romans 8:28 reads that "All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose," and I believe that by the time we become moms- regardless of our circumstances- we have what it takes to do a great job, whether we believe it or not, and whether we want to or not.

CLAUDIA L.
FOUNDER OF THE AMAZING MOM
Like seriously...2nd Corinthians reminds us that God is able to make all grace abound toward us, that we, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work..." And this includes the work of motherhood!!! We've ALL been given a "measure of grace" (Ephesians 4:7) in order to handle whatever comes our way! So here's my story...here's "how I do it"....here's what "Grace" has taught me. Life isn't easy and none of us are perfect, but we can learn to "shine" through our imperfections, and make the journey of motherhood an amazing one! You've got It in you!

Build my brand on THE WORD (a firm foundation)
My WHY is that I want to tun from just capturing other family’s memories and life events to captureing my own…my children are growing up FAST!!! My WHY is because I believe that reaching mothers is the key to turning our culture around for the good. (Women have always been the agents for effective, long-lasting change). From working in the school system and realizing that regardless of what the teachers do throughout the day, it’s the child’s home environment that sticks with them the most; to working with ex-cons and recovering addicts and realizing that the biggest guilt they felt, and the person who they wanted ot make the most proud of them is STILL their MOTHER, says a lot. My WHY is thtat many moms may not realize their impact (because a lot of times all of our work (see and unseen) goes unpraised and underappreciatied, but for the moms who do realize it, it is to provide them with encouragement and to remind them of the grace that they have been given to empower them to master the call of motherhood. My WHY is to brign more wholesome, positive, and life-givign content to media, and social media. My why is to bring back the “Fun” in family.
-
My WHY is to give Christianity a platform and a face that is NOT WHITE (and to exercise my convictions and God-given clal). My WHY is because I want to make God “glamourous” again. My WHY is to leave a legacy for my daughters and other little girls around the world, to recognize and embrace THEIR amazing, God-given grace, given to them by the creator. My WHY is to capture God’s love and grace in what I’ve already been given, instead of pursuing more. I want to capture the beauty of my marriage, my family, motherhood, life...mine.

To inspire people and make them laugh.
To get all of this creativity out of my system!!!
To change my own narrative of not meeting my potential, and feeling as if my voice doesn’t matter.
