Motherhood and Girlfriends: New Circle of Moms Video Series in Partnership With Kia

I think girlfriends are one of the most important parts of motherhood. I have such an amazing group of women in my life, both online and IRL, that are my support system from everything to feeding my kids to what shoes to wear. There are many moments in my life when I feel that I would not know what to do next without my girlfriends.

I often feel bad for men. I don't think they have the same type of bonds as women do. They don't seem to really understand why women need to talk about everything - sometimes to death!

Circle of Moms has a new video series in partnership with Kia, about just this. Being a woman and being a mom. The latest video from Circle of Moms by POPSUGAR talks about everything from sex, to growing kids, to having a better relationship with your mother-in-law. Its a lot like having a glass of wine with a girlfriend - just maybe after you've all come from a blow-out at Drybar. 

Check out the latest video and let me know your thoughts! It's a cute series with likable women. I could see myself chatting with them and adding my two cents. Do you have a special group of women in your life? 

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Kia through their partnership with Circle of Moms. While I was compensated to review the Kia Motors video and write a review, all opinions are my own.

City of Hope's "All In" Week

All of our lives have been touched in some way by some form of women's cancers. And if cancer hasn't affected you or someone you know yet, there is a good chance it will in the future. I look at my daughter and I see the string of cancers she has the possibility of inheriting and I know that all of us need to do something - together - to fight these battles. 

This week is City of Hope's "All In" Week. A week where nationally-recognized researchers and physicians go “all in” to cure women’s cancers through their multidisciplinary Women’s Cancers Program, working to advance scientific understanding of breast and gynecological cancers, improve screening and prevention, and help women everywhere live longer, healthier lives. Thru Oct. 1, anyone, anywhere can take simple actions that will make a big impact in the fight against women’s cancers.

 Going “ALL IN” is easy, and can be done in any of the following ways:

• “Like” City of Hope’s Friends: During “All In Week,” visit City of Hope’s Women’s Cancers Program web page at cityofhope.org and cast your “like” vote for your favorite “All In” video.  Share the link with your friends, leave a comment, spread the word.
