Ø Moms, set your alarm so you have enough time to take care of yourself along with your family in the morning.
Ø In addition to laying out your children’s clothing, be prepared and lay out clothing (or makeup) for yourself the night before.
Ø Dress appropriately for the occasion. If you are going to the park, wear clothes that are not restricting and choose flats rather than heels. For a parent/teacher conference, a pair of slacks and a blouse make a nice statement. Dressing for the gym? Finish your look by adding a stylish casual jacket or sweater.
Ø Dedicate a quick minute or two for some careful grooming. Regardless of how rushed you are, wash your face, brush your teeth and hair, put on a bit of face cream, foundation, mascara and blush. You’ll be good to go!
Ø At the very least, maintain your poise and walk with good posture. Stand up straight with your shoulders back and move gracefully, heel toe, heel toe. This exudes confidence and strength.
Ø A smile makes up for everything. Even if you had minimal time to put yourself together, donning a smile endears you to everyone. (Just make sure you brushed those teeth!)

I agree so much with the needing to make contact with other moms.... And hard as I try to ready myself early that just never happens! By the time I cook breakfast, then clean it up off the floor, get oldest my daughter dressed and out the door without forgetting her book bag... or the baby, lol I am just not worried about my own appearance... I will say however that next time i rush to school I'll dab on some lip gloss and smile that healthy smile for all the other mom's that somehow found 2 extra hours to be "IT" more power to ya mommies! :) thanks for the video ladies! it was right on target! :)
Concealer and lip gloss..AMEN!And if I actually worked out as much as my clothes suggested,I'd be a much more fit person. It's almost embarrassing that I'm NOT built like a brick shit house running around town always dressed in my work out clothes.but, jenny, come on..you look adorable. I look like I just am on my way home from the gym..but I never actually make it. It's one of the great mysteries of the universe:)LOL
awesome vid! and great convo that (i feel) resonates with every mother at some point in time.
for me, i *try* to get up every morning and shower, makeup, dress, etc... as though i'm "going to work" though i work from home.
putting that effort in makes me feel good, and when i do pick up my little dude from school or run errands, etc, i *hope* that i put off the "right" impression.
... then again i have a nose piercing and many tattoos...
i may have to rethink this one. :)
