Elizabeth Mathis

Raised in Detroit by a single mom, Elizabeth attended Northwestern University outside of Chicago and began modeling and acting as a side job. Jumping at an opportunity to move to NY, she lived there for several years where she continued modeling and acting. New York is also where she met and fell in love with her husband. Fast forward to two little girls later and they currently reside in Los Angeles, California. While acting is still her passion becoming a mommy has been her most rewarding job ever. Although it's a lot of hard work, her love for being a part of the “mommy club” led her to create ElizabethMxo.com. The lifestyle and parenting website is where she loves to share advice, keep it real and hopefully inspire fellow mamas!

Life

The moment when baby fever hits

Babies. I want them.

Life

Want to love your child? Love yourself first, mama

The new normal is that I work when I should be sleeping because it seems like I can’t get enough done during the day.

Life

‘Have I been breastfeeding for too long?’

Although I never thought I would be breastfeeding for this long, we continued because it felt right for us.

Child

To my daughter—this is my vow

“I vow to show you the strength of womanhood.”

Community & Friendship

When you’re the first in your squad to have a baby

My friends didn’t really get my new life as a mom. But could I really blame them?

Career & Money

Is child care a necessity when you work from home?

How I learned to stop stressing and hire a babysitter.

Grandparents & Extended Families

Why I’m learning to let grandma ‘spoil’ my kids—a little bit

The rules can seem to go out the window when grandparents are around. I’m learning to keep calm and call grandma.
