Thoughts on motherhood: Bivens, a mother of two, a 17-year-old son, and a 15-year-old daughter, says motherhood is rooted in connection. "Motherhood, to me right now, is about being present. I think that our kids are exposed to a lot through social media. So we have to be advocating for our kids and be present so that they understand what's reality and what's not. I also think that developing a sense of structure for my own family, which I learned from my mom and my grandmother, I think that's what I want to relay to my kids. The importance of family and teaching them to just be respectful while staying true to who you really are."

It’s both incredibly beautiful and unpredictable. Since day one, you start to experience moments that are unexpected, interesting, loving, hard, rewarding and selfless. As a modern women, wife, mom and mover & shaker business owner- we watch our family grow up simultaneously as we raise ourselves as women. We are still learning in every season and seeing each chapter through is a gift.
