Moms on the Move


(BUILT IN) (Icons/Graphics) Lady_brownhair.jpgWe want to support and acknowledge moms. Each of you is making a difference whether you are a stay at home mom, working mom, or volunteer mom. When you become a mom, it is often easy to forget the side of you that is also a woman who may have had a career, hobbies and education before you became a parent. As a mom we spend our days multi-tasking and juggling. We are now the CEO of our households. Our job description includes diapers, dishes, carpooling, and an endless amount of laundry. Overnight you go from being a woman with style to someone who is happy to just get a shower. Being a mom is wonderful but it is also important to have a sense of yourself outside of your family.

 

This page is for you. Give us feedback on what you would like to see by emailing us. Check back often because this page will change monthly. Nominate a mom for our "Mom In The Spotlight."

We have seen first-hand the enormous commitment and energy she brings to her classroom and the incredible benefit to the kids lucky enough to have had her as a teacher. She's a true gem...even going to the local high school graduation each year to congratulate each of her previous students.
