Not for Lazy Moms is a community for new generation moms who want it all and do it all. We are a community of resourceful women who are determined to accomplish their goals and are dedicated to helping one another succeed.

When I was a little girl, my aunt introduced me to her holistic approach for healthy living. Whenever I was sick, she always had a natural remedy. When I became a mom, I remembered my aunt’s recipes, and sought out to find additional solutions. I soon discovered essential oils and began creating my own natural remedies for everything from the common cold, nasal congestion and earaches, to helping my children get a good night’s sleep. I started sharing these discoveries with friends, and before long I was receiving calls, emails and texts every day from friends who were searching for help, which led me to creating this site.

In 2019 she launched luxe ecommerce company Well(un)known which focuses on emerging brands. She also serves as the site's Creative Director. The same year she also became a mother to a baby girl named Poppy.

Many events have shaped who I am today. From becoming a co-host of a morning radio show in DC, to saying “I do” to my best friend. But the event, or shall I say the on-going event, that I am most proud of, is my son. Being a mom is exhausting, it is liberating, it is every emotion all tangled up into one mess, and I love it. I also enjoy sharing (and confessing) my experiences with you fellow moms! I am so thankful for the Not For Lazy Moms community. This group of women encourages me to do what makes me happy and to wear a cute outfit while doing it!

Born and raised in Frederick, Maryland, I’m a formally trained professional Chef, currently fully occupied as a mom to my two young children, balancing my love for food with the challenges of motherhood. My passion for cooking started with making traditional Mexican dishes aside my great-grandmother. While we did not share a common spoken language, we shared the love language of cooking. Trained in savory cooking techniques, I spent most of my professional career as a cake decorator and chocolatier. Currently, I continue my passion for cooking from my home into the world through social media.

After 20 years of battling body issues, I'm finally in my best body at 37 and a mother of two. I know so many women who are hard-core fitness fanatics and never let themselves “cheat.” They will never miss a workout and always pass on a cocktail. Then there’s the women who are out every night at happy hour and think nothing of skipping their workout the next morning. Neither lifestyle is sustainable. I fall somewhere in the middle- Squats and Margaritas. I finally found a formula that worked for me and feel compelled to share it with women who are struggling like I always have.

I am a DMV based creative, professional model and actress who has appeared in numerous national commercials and print ads. I’m currently focusing on my biggest and most important gig — MAMA. I was 44 when I gave birth to my first child and 47 with my second. Grown Mama is a space I share my personal journey and experiences with motherhood after 40. Its purpose is to encourage, support and advocate for other women of advanced maternal age who desire to become MAMAs in the middle. We are changing the narrative and making motherhood after 40 less of a trend and more of the norm.

Life’s a Journey, so enjoy the ride! This is the motto that I live by and it pushed me to move in the direction of designing the life I want. My name is Antonia Gates and I started Boss Mom Living back in 2018 when I found out that I was finally pregnant with my first child after being told I was infertile for three years. Being a “Boss Mom”, means being able to be a mom and juggle everything that life throws your way. I love sharing the real with other moms and letting others know that even though we enjoy having a family, it’s okay to focus on you and take time for what you want in life as well.

Motherhood is hard but doesn’t have to be. As a sought-after, influential voice on motherhood, my goal is for mothers worldwide to know they don’t have to set themselves on fire to keep everyone warm. Whether sharing parenting tips on Good Morning Washington or in publications like Parents, the goal is to support that woman with exchanging perfect for done by setting clear and healthy boundaries. Remember, done does not have to happen at your hand. Finding your unique balance in motherhood is possible without comparing yourself to others.
