Heather Spohr, Founder. Heather is a wife, mother and writer of the award winning blog, The Spohrs Are Multiplying. She is also a nationally recognized philanthropist of Friends of Maddie and March of Dimes, and co-founder of Mouth Media and the Curvy Girl Guide. Heather spends a lot of time pretending to be a responsible, normal adult. She loses stuff a lot, criminally overuses the word “dude,” and really likes to go to Karaoke establishments. Heather has had two completely different careers in her life – one was in the A&R department at a major record label, and the other was in sales for a professional baseball team. Now she writes during nap time, considers putting on work out clothes just as good as actually exercising, and uses large chunks of her day trying to get her daughter to smile.

Meredith Soleau, Relationships Editor. Meredith was supposed to be a famous country singer, but her parents made her go to college and major in something “real.” She graduated with a B.S. in business, and landed a gig as a Human Resources Director at a large car dealership in Ohio. When she’s not screaming at Used Car Salesmen, or her super hot husband, she is hollering at one of her three gorgeous children (who are most likely wiping boogers on the suit that she had laid out for work the next day). Meredith has been writing her humor blog, Life’s Crazy Joke, for one year to prove to her parents that she will be famous for something (even if they are dream crushers). She is also super active on Twitter. She wears a size 14, and has no qualms about telling you how great she looks in a fitted shirt. If you’re lucky, she may even let you touch her glorious hair.
