Today is saturday

September 12, 2009 by Juliann

I declined a trip with my husband, children and younger brother to go rafting today, (mild rapids.) Instead I stayed home, cleaned up the house a bit and just enjoyed some much needed time to myself. Tomorrow, we have church at 10-1pm, and then must meet at 3 pm downtown for my daughter, eleven year old Myelie to perform in a short film she was chosen to do out of 25 other kids. She will only be paid 25.00, but heck, what kid would not want to be an actress? Especially when she was hand picked by a producer. ANyway, I am proud of her. Only problem is, we’ll need a babysitter for Braxton, but that is okay. It will work out. We have been involved with Actors in ACtion…(a local casting agency for about five years.) I have done about five different films in the background, but have only seen one! I still want to see myself as a bartender….which I was three years ago on a big screen that i don’t think they finished…with Charlie Hoffheimer from Black Hawk Down, and another in which I played an insane asylum patient for a small budget film. I have not done much since Braxton was born. Hey, it is not much pay, but the experience is soooo much fun just to see what goes on behind the scenes. I’ll post a link sometime to the one I do have footage of with Chris Klien in ‘Valley of Light’ as a bus passenger. Myelie and I and my brother Shaun had a blast on that set!!! ANyway, it is a beautiful day and I should be going outside to harvest corn, but I am deathly afreaid of praying mantises!!!!!!!!

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.

Together, we're here to support moms through every age and stage of motherhood—from pregnancy to menopause—with helpful advice, product recommendations, beauty and wellness tips, and plenty of encouragement along the way. Plus more!

We are PR-friendly and love working with great companies!
