Motherhood Defined Mission Statement

All parents all question their ability to care for a child at some point. They find themselves needing a shoulder to lean on or just a friend to give them a little push in the right direction. We fill this role providing that all important listening ear without judgement.

Motherhood Defined is led by an amazing team of professional writers and trendy moms (plus Daddy D). We provide an abundance of information on trends, travel, all things foodie, parenting and the no boundary humor that comes along with just being a mom.

Each member of our team engages our community using a variety of social media channels, live events, as well as radio and news segments. We are also excited to announce an upcoming podcast (MPMTV) in late summer 2015!

Teri Hatland is also founder and partner at MPM, Mom Powered Media, a full service social media company.
