Arian T Moore, Ph.D., is also a friend and colleague that I have known for over 7 years.  Her online magazine/blog is an excellent source of information for working moms.  There is information that covers a variety of topics from leadership to lifestyle to parenting.  A lot of effort has gone into covering topics that the active working mom would find valuable. I enjoy this online magazine so much I included it in the over 40 categories because they have great topics for women at any age.  If you happen to have grown children who are working moms they will love it too.

My Special Bonus Favorite

I just love the content full of encouragement, motivation, and support.  The best way to share how great this blog is to just share something from the site.  "We're here to tell you that you do matter, you are good enough, your body is amazing (yes, even if you have cellulite and some wobbly bits!) and what you want from life is really important"   That really says it all and that is the theme throughout the blog.   Love it, love it, love it!!
