Turns out her insight about the potential of online connection was right.
Today Rachael, who lives in Naples, Florida, is in-demand as a consultant, building websites and working with businesses to design and manage their websites, as well as raising her 21-month old daughter Leila.
She's also one of the founding editors of BlueSuitMom, a website devoted to work/life balance issues. For her dedication to helping working moms we are naming her our Southern Living Mama Blogger of the Week.
Rachael helped found BlueSuitMom in 2000, long before she was a mom. “BlueSuitMom has always been my passion. It was my first baby,” she says. The website features stories about parenting, career, and health, among other things that busy moms talk about.
Readers are encouraged to submit questions to BlueSuitMom's team of experts, a team that includes a career coach, child educators, and professional organizers.
We like this post Rachael did about her the "BlueSuitMom's Working Mom Top 10 Must Haves." Another great post is her book reviewof "Life's Work: Confessions of An Unbalanced Mom" by Lisa Belkin. An excerpt from Rachael's review:
"This might have been the most powerful message I've read in a book -- ever. Because today I vow that this will change my life. From now on, I'm not going to stay awake until 3 a.m. stressing out about why I'm not good enough. Why do I have to spend countless hours worrying that it isn't good enough."
We love that attitude. Keep up the good work Rachael!
