Teresa Johns

Motivated Mama

Teresa is a 28 year old mom, wife, designer, blogger, social media addict, amateur photographer, theater lover, sports fanatic, and reality show junkie. Family is always top priority for this busy mama: she is mommy to Will (born November 2010) and wife to Billy. Teresa is a designer by day and packs her free time with hobbies both she and her family enjoy. Busy as she may be, Teresa still manages to have a lot fun, loves those close to her, and enjoys every day as it comes. With both Billy and Teresa working full time, providing healthy home-cooked meals has been a challenge at times, especially with a little guy in the mix. However, she's accumulated quite the collection of easy/healthy/fast dinners that work for her family and hope that they can help you too!
