Hello and happy Friday to you all my Modern Mamas! I took a week off from this FEATURE FRIDAY SERIES due to some fun summer travel to see family – AND – because I was out of commission for 2 weeks because of my horrendous black eye (yikes!). Who knew Mommyhood was a full contact sport?!?! This happened as I was innocently reading stories to my son in bed (in an attempt to get him to wind down)… Of course, he jumps backwards at full speed to lay next to me and the back of his head ends up accidentally hitting me square in the right eye. You can still see what’s left of the healing process in our video (but thank goodness for concealer).

Now that I’m back in full swing, I couldn’t be more excited to continue this series on The Model Mama Show. Trust me, this week’s FEATURED MAMA was worth the wait. Without further ado, here she is: my beautiful, charismatic, and oh-so talented friend, Kim Caldwell. This Texas-born Mama has been preforming since she was five. You may recognize her… she was a finalist on the second season of American Idol. She’s an incredible singer (head to her Instagram and you’ll be blown away), TV Host, beauty blogger, and makes custom leather handbags in her free time (a hobby that she taught herself by watching YouTube). I mean, is there anything she can’t do?!? Her hilarious commentary can also be viewed on the Steve Harvey Show. She’s a regular panelist dishing on relationships and… hmmm how shall I say this… the topic of S-E-X! But most importantly, Kim is an incredible Mama to her adorable daughter, Harlow. She married to the love of her life, Jordan Harvey, who plays for the new Los Angeles soccer team, LAFC. It’s safe to say, they’re one talented crew!

Ok, just typing all that made me need another latte ;) I don’t know how she does it all… but she does with positivity, a sense of humor and just the right amount of attitude! This mama will undoubtedly become your new bestie. She’s so honest, down-to-earth, and hilarious about her transition to Motherhood and how she navigates her busy life. I had too much fun laughing and chatting with Kim… tune in below for all her wise and practical insights!
