Inspirational Mom :: Holly Hamann of Tap Influence
About four months ago I came across a video where Holly Hamann and Rustin Banks were talking about how important it is to tap your influence in the marketplace. As I am fairly new to the whole mommy blogging sphere, I have been attempting to learn as much as I can so that I can provide quality content for our wonderful dandelion moms while working with companies I feel our audience would like to learn more about. Rustin and Holly were pretty dynamic on the video and since then I have been an active follower of the Tap Influence network. In fact, Forbes Magazine recently named Rustin as a…

Inspirational Mom :: Meredith Alexander of Milk + Bookies
Recently, I came across an organization that provides books to families in need. As a children’s author and mom to an early reader, I know the importance of providing books and encouraging a love of reading to kids. We are fortunate to have access to many books and always consider it a treat to visit our local independent bookstore. But many families are not in a situation to do this. Meredith Alexander has created a wonderful organization called Milk + Bookies that encourages families to come together for a Milk+Bookies event, have some milk and cookies and buy books that are then donated to families in need. One of the…

Inspirational Mom :: Sheila Bernus Dowd of Clever Girls
I heard about Clever Girls last year when I entered the world of mom blogging which really was a whole new world for me to learn about. This past year I have been visiting their site and enjoying the information they provide for mom bloggers. Clever Girls is a social media agency offering content marketing and native advertising at scale and had over 70 Million unique visitors last month! Wow! I love how this company was created by a group of women providing other moms a way to help run their own blogging business. This past month I learned about the journey of Sheila Bernus Dowd, one of the cofounders of Clever Girls,…

Inspirational Mom :: Randi Zuckerberg of Zuckerberg Media
While on a family trip in Tahoe this year, I received an email from the ladies over at Zuckerberg Media who wanted to see if I would like to collaborate together on some projects. I remember looking through the company website and reading about the woman behind the company, Randi Zuckerberg, and was amazed at how much she has done and accomplished. She was one of the early executives at Facebook and nominated for an Emmy Award in 2011. There are superwomen like her out there and I always find them inspiring. It really comes down to doing what you want to do with your life, and not letting…

Inspirational Mom :: Camilla Olson
There are certain clothing items that I really can’t have enough of (coats being the main item – though I live in sunny California) and I refrain only due to my budget. Scarves are one of those items I would spend too much on if I could. You can have the most simple outfit on but if you throw on a nice scarf around your neck – it just adds the finishing touches! While living abroad in Japan, I came across some beautiful scarves as the Japanese have a real knack for beautiful textiles as you probably know. Recently though, I was given one of the most beautiful scarves’ I have seen in a long…

Inspirational Mom :: Laura J. Benson of Jeanne Beatrice
One of my dearest friends is a Frenchwoman who lives around the corner from me. Every year she and her family head back to her hometown in Bordeaux, France and spend the summer months hanging with her two sisters and mom. Oh, the perks of being a schoolteacher! For my birthday last year she gave me a French market basket she brought back with her from her last trip and I must say I am in love… yes, with a basket! It is so simple, yet so stylish, and I love to bring it on trips to the beach, Farmer’s Market or to the pool. It is perfect…
