A Mom’s Take is a mom blog that started in Phoenix, Arizona on April 1st, 2010 with just one mom trying to connect with others and be a resource for other moms. The owner, Janel, is a mom who knows what it is like to be raising little ones in the modern day. We’re now spread across the country!

On this site you will find a variety of topics from recipes, travel, crafts, gift ideas, blogging tips, and other content to inspire and teach. Since A Mom’s Take began it has grown to include a variety of writers and contributors. You’ll notice a variety of voices but one thing remains the same – we are all real women sharing our stories, experiences, and opinions.

This blog accepts a variety of sponsorship, free products, and other considerations. Affiliate links are also used where we may receive a small commission at no cost to you. See our full disclosure and privacy policies for more information.

Meagan – Idaho Mom of 4 Kids

Meagan adores being a mother to a Ninja Turtle obsessed 9-year-old son and a very sweet (but mostly sassy) six-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old daughter with a lot of attitude and a new baby.

Before working from home, she enjoyed her time as a Behavioral Health Nurse. When she gets a moment to herself, nothing makes Meagan happier than eating cookie dough ice-cream, going shopping (kidless), catching up on her favorite Netflix shows, or soaking in a nice warm bubble bath.

Meagan and her family live in Idaho where we love living the simple life. View all posts by Meagan.

A Mom’s Take has had a handful of additional contributors over the past years that you may see posts from as well. As life has progress and changed, our past writers moved on to other opportunities or to spend more time home with their children. We have appreciated all those who have shared their voice and talents in contributing to A Mom’s Take.
