Diary of a (Sleepy) Mom: Robyn

Moms. They’re just like us. In tribute to the OG icons who literally gave us life, we’re featuring the matriarchs we think you’d like to get to know, too. Mothers who are mothering (in every sense of the word). Read on to meet Robyn.

Tell us a couple of sentences about you and your family.

I’ve been a working mom since my kids were born. For me that meant being a real estate agent which gave me the flexibility to work around my family’s schedule. I’ve also been very lucky in having a supportive husband who helped me strike a healthy work/home life balance.

What are the three words you’d use to describe yourself?

Kind, supportive, and hard-working.

What’s the best Mother’s Day gift you’ve ever received?

A tradition in my family is to go to the beach in Ventura– that was relaxing and fun for all.

If you had a day to spend in bed, describe your dream scenario.

I don’t like to sleep in. I have too much energy and would rather be exercising or playing pickleball.

Forget caffeine, if you could drink a magic morning concoction, what superpowers or strengths would it give you?

The ability to turn my focus on/off.

What’s something you wish your kids knew or understood better about being a mom?   

It’s hard to please everyone around you and also maintain others’ respect.
