Laura Fuentes
Laura Fuentes knows how to juggle multiple aspects of her life at once. She has kept herself busy through the years: tackling a fast-paced career in the corporate world, raising three babies, working from home, and eventually founding her own company. Fuentes started her blog in 2010. She wrote about her experiences as a mom. She also shared recipes she created for her family. When she experienced a huge health scare from exhaustion, she decided to put her health and well-being first. This led to an overhaul of the content on her blog. What started as a blog about family stories and recipes now also helps moms achieve personal and professional goals. Expect parenting tips, articles on self-care, information on healthy eating, and advice for achieving work-life balance. Articles run the gamut from “Starting a Workout Routine When You Have Kids” to “How To Make Your Dreams a Reality.” In 2021, Fuentes took on her next venture: founding MOMables, a healthy meal-planning service for families. MOMables was created after Fuentes struggled to find healthy wholesome recipes that her daughter would like for school lunch (instead of less nutritious prepackaged meals). To date, MOMables has helped approximately 80,000 families eat better with meal plans, healthy diet programs, and recipes. The goal is to give families the resources they need to reduce sugar and processed foods from their diets. Fuentes has also written five cookbooks and made appearances on the “TODAY Show,” “Good Morning America,” Univision, and Telemundo.
