We had the privilege of chatting with Heather Armstrong – the blogger behind the amazingly popular Dooce.com. Years ago she was one of the first bloggers on the scene – but she’s not your average mommy blogger. With her signature mix of sarcasm, wit, and charm she spoke to us about blogger burnout, her relationship with her mom, and dry summers in Utah. Continue reading

“I have two kids. My oldest, Kingston Ryle, is two years old. The day I had him my life changed for the better. I had no idea how the impact of being a momma to this little boy would change my life. He is one of the sweetest, happiest little boys I have ever met. Continue reading

Eirene Heidelberger is the founder of GIT Mom (or Get It Together, Mom) a site that teaches healthy methods of guilt-free parenting. She is also a mother of 3 young boys and enjoys working out, traveling, and Pinot Noir.
My son Cole just turned 10, he is a natural born leader and is very calm. He sets the tone with the other 2 boys and takes pride in showing them how to do things. Grey is 6. He is the cutest, sweetest, most loving boy. He is a quiet character and always wants to please others. Wells is 25 months. Grey calls him Mr. W. Wells is a traditional “boy.” He is extremely curious, fast, smart, and inquisitive – I can barely keep up with him! He started walking at 9 months and the rest has been history. I have a feeling he will be running the world before he can drive.
As a first-time mom I was a bundle of nerves, worry, and anxiety. Cole (now 10) was not an easy baby. He pretty much cried all of the time, and it completely stressed me out. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing or how to be a mom and I missed my pre-baby life. Continue reading
Lupine is co-founder and owner of Modern Domestic, a sewing studio and fabric store in Northeast Portland’s thriving DIY community. She is also a mother of 2. Follow Modern Domestic on Twitter and Facebook for more info.
My business is called Modern Domestic. We are a sewing machine dealer, fabric store and studio and we also offer sewing classes and modern styling, which is unusual in this industry. There aren’t a lot of shops that sell modern fabric and machines. I actually didn’t start sewing until after college. I sewed a bit when I was a kid but always got frustrated with it. After college I moved to Eugene, OR and had always wanted to try it so I borrowed a friend’s machine. After a while I bought a Bernina – which is a really good machine – and started taking classes. I loved it. Continue reading
Desiree Vargas is the Founder and CEO of GiveForward, a Chicago-based start-up that specializes in online medical fundraising. She has an 8 year old step-daughter, 2-year old son, and is expecting another baby boy next summer.
“I was originally inspired to start my company, GiveForward, in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina back in 2006. At that time there was no easy way to give directly to people who were trying to re-build. There was no way to raise money online unless you were a registered non-profit. It took me a year to build up the courage to get started with this idea. In 2007, I celebrated my 25th birthday and in 2008 we launched. We pivoted to specialize in medical fundraising. I met my husband about a month before we launched and we were married in the summer of 2010. That year we were also going through a tech incubator and I was planning a wedding – it was pretty crazy.

“We have two boys. Jack is 8 and Leo is about to be 5. Jack is my scholar: an old soul who devours books and loves our record player. Leo, on the other hand, is completely wild. He will most definitely be either a rock star or a stunt man. They both share my love of fashion, art, and thrifting. Continue reading
