There are so many things that the unstoppable women in my life have taught me. My Great Grandmother was such a kind woman, she taught me love and acceptance at an early age. She loved openly and deeply and that’s one of the things I also see in my Aunt Mea.
Mea is one of those people that you meet and want to spend more time with, she lives her life openly and loves deeply. She’s not afraid to be who she is and in many ways has inspired me to become the person I am today.
One of the things that my Aunt Mea taught me is to be silly especially when it comes to being a mother. Having fun and laughing together is something I often see her do with my children and she inspires me to do the same and be silly and funny with them. She’s also great at communicating and has taught me to open up and talk about how I feel. That’s one thing that’s helped me as a wife, a friend and as a mother. 
Her spirit of adventure and life is one that I see in my girls and I hope they never lose that. They appreciate the beauty in art and in nature, just like she does. When I struggle in my life she has always been truly there for me and as my children get older I hope they can always turn to me like I have been able to turn to her.
There are often special women who come into our lives for one reason or another. Not having a mother myself I’m truly inspired by the courageous women who walked into my life and stood by my side, through my good days and bad. It’s that kind of love that inspires me as a mother and I am eternally grateful for all the ways she has impacted my life in a positive way. 
Being an unstoppable mom is something I never imagined my kids would say about me but I hope they can always feel just how much I love them and that I am so proud of them. Being a mother is my greatest joy and I hope to live by many of the things that Mea has inspired me to be.

Love this and I love Kelly Ripa. Love that your aunt has taught you so many amazing things.
Your aunt sounds like an absolutely wonderful role model! Both my mom & mother in law are definitely unstoppable moms!
There are a couple women in my life who have taught me important lessons. I would not be who I am without learning from them.
What a fantastic program. I love the idea of thanking and acknowledging those that have nade an impact in our lives.
My mom is definitely un-stoppable, cancer has tried to stop her TWICE, both times ‘end stage’ and she kicked cancer’s @$$ each time with humor, grace and faith!
Your aunt sounds like an amazing person! It’s always great when we have these types of people in our lives. Makes living that much sweeter!
What a beautiful post. We learn so much from the women in our family. It’s from my grandma and mom that I learned so much.
I just love this campaign! Inspiring women who are unstoppable are so important to life up and share with everyone.
I’m trying to make it to that twitter party! I love the message of this campaign!
My mom and my daughter are both unstoppable women. Alas, cancer stopped my mom but her spirit lives on in me and my daughter.
i am a total believer of it takes a village. i feel like i have 3 moms and 2 grannies. I have my mom, aunt and step-mom and they all give me what i need in different areas and then I had both my grannies before they passed.
Aunts are just the best!! I love my nieces and nephews and I can’t wait until they are older and will remember all of the fun we have!!
We’ve always learned about life, it’s so nice to know that there are your auntie to guide you in the right way.
We all have someone who has made a big impact in our lives. I admire the character of your aunt. I hope we can also serve as positive examples to the younger generation.
Really Great post, Its nice having a mother that remind you on what is right and what is wrong. I do really love my Mom and My Grandmother. I owe a lot to them.
She sounds like an amazing person. I have always looked up to my grandma.
These women sound like amazing women to have in your life! I know I would be lost with out my mother in my life.
My world has changed so much since I became a mom. Could never have imagined what life would be like. Thankfully our kids have many different moms… some related and some are friends because it takes a village to raise kids.
It’s amazing what kind of impact women can have on their families. I hope I am doing a good job by my boys, and sometimes I am run down and tired. But years from now I hope they appreciate the life I tried to give them. Great campaign.
Your Aunt sounds like an amazing woman. I have always been in awe of women like her, that everyone just wants to be around 🙂 And that twitter party sounds great. Thanks for sharing
My Gram was a huge influence in my life. She taught me how to put on make up and to drink Diet Coke! I miss her so much!
What a wonderful aunt. She seems like she taught you so many wonderful things. It’s always great to carry traditions and family traits over to our children.
Your Aunt Mea sounds like a great woman. I’m sure with the example she has set for you you will be an unstoppable mom.
It’s really great that you had that bond with your mom! My grandmother was my unstoppable woman.
Awww… how nice that your Aunt has inspired you so much. She sounds like a wonderful woman. I bet she loves reading this post you wrote.
My mom is unstoppable. I learned everything I know from her!
My mom is unstoppable! She does everything for everyone. I wish I had her positivity about a full to-do list.
I love this idea! I’m going to show the site to my kids – they’ll have a blast!
It’s amazing what an impact the women in our families can have on us. Our elders can teach us so much.
My mom is definitely unstoppable when it comes to her unconditional love. And my Grandma was unstoppable with always sharing her life lessons about health. She lived to almost 100 so I always listened!
Sounds like a great Twitter party. I’m going to try and make it. And your aunt sounds like a great woman.
It’s fun to have a family of unstoppable moms. There are so many inspirational, loving women in my family, as well as incredible, supportive men. Thanks for sharing Aunt Mea and her love and compassion.
My mom and my sister have had a big impact on me over the years. I’ve learned so much just watching them both be mothers!
I think all of us would love to have an Aunt Mea in their life! I agree with her about being silly!
What a wonderful aunt, thanks for sharing your story. As the mom of 4 kids all born within a year when my kids were little I ALWAYS kept Motrin on hand.
My mother and aunt had a huge impact on my life. And I am so thankful for them! That sounds like a great Twitter party.
Love this! My mom passed away when I was 16 but had the most impact on my life thus far. This sounds like a great party!
What a heartwarming campaign. And your personal story too is very moving in multiple ways.
My mother has had a big impact on my life. Through thick and thin she has always stood her ground and been an amazing role model. I definitely would not be the person I am today without guidance from her.
Your aunt sounds like one amazing lady. I’m so glad you have her in your life.
My mom has made such an impact in my life!! It is amazing what the women in our lives can teach us.
sounds like a great party! I hope I don’t miss it. I honestly, cannot say I have someone in my life that has impacted my life but I hope my kids will say that about me when they’re older.
Your aunt sounds like an amazing woman. In my life, my mother in law has made the most impact on me.
It’s always nice when you can have a family member that has such a great impact on you. Your aunt sounds like a lovely person.
I will have to head over and create my own Unstoppable Mom storybook cover. I will have to share this with other Moms i know.
This is so sweet. My sister is an unstoppable mom that inspires me. She’s always there for me!
It’s always nice to have someone that is always there for you. That is a bond that cannot be broken!
My great-grandmother and grandmother both impacted my life greatly. Neither one of them are still living but I keep everything they taught me close to my heart.
There are so many people that have had an impact on my life. It is hard to choose who. My grandma because she came from nothing with 6 kids and made it all work.
My mom and my sister. They have made my life so much richer!
Thank you so much Kristin! You know you have inspired me as well! Seeing how far you and Delfino have come and what great parents you both are is truly awe inspiring! Love you all so much!
My grandma impacted my life in ways that can not be put into words. She was my best friend, my role model, my person. I never thought I would be able to live after she was gone, but I will always have her memories and the example she was to me helped me become who I am today, even though her time on earth was too short in my opinion, I am so blessed for the time I did have her. Not everyone is so lucky to have such an incredible woman in their life.
I love this post so much. We can learn so much from our moms and other female family members.
Both my mom and my grandmother had a huge impact on my life. They still do!
This sounds like it’s going to be a great party. It’s amazing what an impact our mothers can have on us.
