Catherine Wayland
International Family

Hey Hot Mamas! I love talking to other moms, dads, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles about the real stuff of raising a family. I don¹t know about you, but when my first son Jax was born, parenting and family magazines made me feel lonely. I was suffering post partum at the time and no one was talking about it. Thanks to Brooke Shields that is not the truth anymore. Thanks to Hot Moms Club, women can feel good about taking care of themselves alongside taking care of their children.

I started International Family Magazine at www.internationalfamilymag.com to talk about all different types of families ­ multi-cultural families, step-families, single parent by choice, single parent/divorce, adoptive families, surrogate families, IVF, and all the forms of GREAT family under the sun from all countries around the world in as many languages as possible. Come join me in my monthly discussions and let's tell each other 'real-life' stories about what's going on in family life today.
