SPRING 2014 1

MOMAZINEspring issue | 2014

beauty inspired motherhood

| 2 Merry Christmas!

A year ago this Spring our first online issue published. As editors and cre-ative women we have grown exponentially. With each season Lauryn and I strive to provide our readers with inspirational content worthy of their time. Our goal with each issue is to make it even more inspiring than the last. We want you to savor each issue with a cup of coffee and quiet time for yourself. As editors, it is simply a must that we make it worth it to you. Being that both of us are moms, we know how rare that quiet time is for most of our readers. Therefore, we want to fill your time with posi-tive and uplifting content. Our hope is that you enjoy every single page.

In this Spring Issue you will find all things relative to the season with new mainstay additions too. Check out our “If You Have Time” section which has expanded with more visual emphasis. A new addition we hope to keep with each issue is our “Inspirational Book” choice for moms and fi-nally the “Behind the Lens” Photographer Q&A in which a few photogra-phers from each issue answer questions about how they juggle a creative career with being a mom.

True to each season creatively, you will find elements of Spring woven throughout the entire issue. Easter and Mother’s Day fall within this issue and we have a fun bright way to celebrate the arrival of the Easter Bunny as well as dressing up your basket with a super cute hand painted tag designed by yours truly! Make your mom the most adorable eye mask–so easy for your kids to make! Find out how others cherish their moms each and every day.

We hope you will find beauty inspired by motherhood in every page you turn.
