A Message From Our Editor
This website was developed by Adena and I, with the goal of making life easier for mothers-to-be.
Adena, a mother of two, has years of IT experience and a degree in graphical arts. I have a background in Human Motor Development and an MBA.
We like to keep our private lives separate, so, the avatars, but please know, we want to help make your transition from pregnancy to motherhood easier.
I have taught personal finance, computers, and technical writing for almost two decades, and that is a passion I have, so when you get to the financial and insurance sections of the blog, know that I poured my heart and soul in to it!
We will also be starting a podcast in the near future, that will highlight stories from everyday mothers.
Why? Because you aren’t alone on this journey, and everyone has a different approach and that approach may help you along the way. Whether it’s advice or just a fun ancedote, it will be worth the listen. Stay tuned! Our first guest will be Adena!
