Solving the Real Energy Crisis
of the 21st Century

mom (mm): n. the woman for whom energy
demands consistently exceed her reserves.

energy n. the strength and vitality required for life.

Mom Energy: n. the solution to mom depletion.

Its nearly midnight and youre still in the kitchen getting ready for tomorrow; in the back of your mind is the urge to log back on to the computer to deal with e-mails marked high-priority (!), a few RSVPs youve been avoiding (!!), and late bills (!!!). The house is finally quiet but you know that the morning alarm will ring soon enough. Too soon, in fact. If a genie were to emerge and grant you three wishes, theyd all be the same: more energy, more energy, more energy. (Okay, so maybe losing 15 pounds and your crows-feet are also on that list, but well get to that.)

Never before has balancing the competing demands of workplace, home, and health been more gruelingor more essential. And, lets face it, we dont know any mother who isnt taking on more than she ever intended to when she said I do to having children. Every mom we know has more to do in a day than the time in which to do it.
