I’m Lizzy and I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband, 7-month-old son, and two cats. Up until I gave birth, I was an editor with a pharmaceutical advertising agency. Now I’m a stay-at-home-mom working to build my client base and take on enough freelance business to help pay the (mounting) bills and have some money leftover to support my (growing) Starbucks habit.
So far, I’ve been able to massage some old business contacts and drum up miscellaneous projects--enough to pay for a Music Together or baby yoga class, buy some groceries, or buy my son some warm fall clothing. Business is picking up now, though, and I’m starting to have difficulty finding the time to get the job done while still being a full time Mom.
I’ll be blogging about the balance of motherhood, family, personal independence, and building up my freelance business.
Welcome to Working Mommies. Once we have some of the formatting down, I will be posting about resources for working moms. We will also have forums dedicated to the questions and solutions that working moms need.
While there are plenty of mom resources out there, sometimes they are geared toward the needs of Stay-at-home moms. I have absolute respect and admiration for those who stay home with their children, but for many of us, we either must work, or simply choose to work.
I am also looking for other mommies who would like to blog on this site. If you want to apply, please send an email to liz at workingmommies dot org.
While we begin this journey, I welcome topic suggestions and information and resources anyone wishes to share.
We are working to get WorkingMommies.org up. Please be patient.
