About

We are The Momfia

This is what we do

Hey friend, let us introduce ourselves (in less than 500 words). We are a group of middle-aged women who have worked relentlessly for years behind the scenes on state & local issues that matter: Legislation, County Commissioner meetings, Board of Health, School Board Meetings. We are the Mom Mafia. We are the Momfia.

We learned that in order to persevere with longterm advocacy, that we must regularly retreat and have fun together. We discovered that we take the same intensity of energy that we put into politics into our adventures. We aim to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, and freedom loving people. We are also neurotic about natural health, and we unapologetically proselytize in almost every conversation. As we venture off the beaten path away from typical tourist traps, we find ourselves meeting people in the most serendipitous ways.  Because inevitably the people drawn to our irresistible fun and insightful conversations ask “WHO ARE YOU?” we decided to start a blog. We are the Momfia.

As we embrace the term “micro influencers,” we will be sharing from the fun places we visit, and the best experiences for lodging, food, shopping, and excursions. What can you expect to read? To be quite honest, likely a crazy mix of fun vacation tips, interesting local people we meet, with a friendly hint of “Don’t trust Big Pharma; there’s better alternatives.” We consist of gurus on acupuncture, exercise & nutrition, childhood ailments, medical cannabis, behavioral health, & herbal medicine. We are the Momfia.

Dolores. She is an expert on exercise & nutrition. Although happily married, she averages one marriage proposal per trip. She is tough girl, and yet we have seen her cry while swimming with sea turtles. She may or may not have a profanity problem while on vacation away from the kiddo. Her motto is “Make good choices!”

Stella. She is an expert on childhood ailments and a how-to-find-healthy-restaurants food guru. She also has hard won wisdom on pallet expansion, food allergies, and muscle therapies.  She has a connection with the divine that may have inspired a supernatural experience while paddle boarding near dolphins. She is also our photographer.

AK47. She is an expert on medical cannabis. She has superpower knowledge on medical benefits systems: insurance, Medicaid, military. She is the invaluable tech-savvy member of the group who helps the tech-shunning among us navigate and make online reservations. Plants & coffee are her specialty.

Sylvia.  She is an acupuncturist and expert on Chinese Medicine. She is full of surprises–like waiting until a private boat took us far out into the Caribbean and then telling the group that she has a lifelong fear of snorkeling. (She overcame with the help of our heroic-and-surprisingly-athletic boat captain saving the day!) Our shenanigans can be too much for some people, and she keeps us mindful of that.

Mave. She is an expert on behavioral health. She is also a maven on many topics on health politics. She might be the ring leader.
