As a stay-at-home mom for over 20 years, I’ve been intrigued by the issues many moms face as to whether or not they work outside of the home: guilt, trying to be a supermom, feeling stressed, undervalued, unfulfilled, etc. Some progress has been made towards addressing these issues; however, not enough has been done to shift the narrative and create opportunities for moms that tap into empathy and provide needed and much deserved support.

I continue to meet so many incredibly talented and inspiring women who want to use their unique skills and knowledge to pursue their passions. Then there are all of us trying to juggle multiple roles and responsibilities, needing expertise in many different areas. It only makes sense to connect this large pool of untapped talent with those who can benefit from gaining access to more help.

Creating this website was beyond what I imagined possible, but I knew this idea had to exist. We do not need to be defined by a past decision to leave the workforce. Life does not need to follow a formula or a set program. Together with my co-founder Lee, we have the passion and the skills to make this dream a reality. I hope you enjoy using this site and benefit from all that it has to offer. Thank you!!

When I had my first child I was running a small company with a friend that we had started a few years earlier, I loved it. Our products were in Oscar gift bags, they were featured in magazines on a regular basis and sold in stores across the country. We were working constantly but it was going really well. Then my second child came along two years later and reality set in. I could no longer manage both our family and the business. At that point, I made the same decision moms face every day, do I keep working or do I stay home with the kids full-time? Unfortunately, there was no middle ground on this one and the decision was clear. So we closed up shop and I focused on the kids. I loved every minute of it, but it was the age old story, I felt like my brain was turning to mush. Fast forward a few years and a friend asked me to do marketing for her company. It was the perfect situation where I could make my own schedule and be engaged in the professional world again.

I have always been interested in people and the dynamics of cultures. I felt there had to be something to help every mom feel valued and intelligent beyond driving carpool and scheduling family life. So when Kerry approached me with the idea of ModernDay Village, I was all in!
