We made the "A" list baby!

MUM modern urban mom

An inspiring honest parenting magazine which is absolutely beautiful. A pure joy to read, so sophisticated and elegant. I love that MUM has a lot for the mom, and not just how to get your baby to sleep through the night. But great articles about stress, exercise and sweet stuff you will want! Our Fortune Tootsies made the "A" list!

Words of Wisdom



"I Will Not Die an Unlived Life: Reclaiming Purpose and Passion"

By Dawna Markova

My dear friend Cindy gave this book to me for my birthday. It moved me. How many times do we just go blindly through our life and wake up one day, realizing that the years have gone by and we don't remember a THING! The poem below are words to live by daily and hourly.

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
