#Each for Equal: International Women’s Day 2020

With this year’s theme for International Women’s Day, #EachforEqual and MomSource’s commitment to helping women and progressive employers come together, we explored what equality means to … [Read more...]

Welcome to the NEW DECADE
Welcome to 2020! I always try to find time during the last few days of the year to reflect on my life, our family and our progress at MomSource.

I am always wanting, reaching and needing more--but this year, a new friend, Marci, reminded me that taking inventory of where you've been is the only way to know where you do (and don't) want to go in the … [Read more...]
