Not only do we have an excellent connection with local readers, but as a mom of five busy kids, ages 3 to 13, I have years of personal experience as a soccer mom, dance mom, gymnastics mom, chess mom, basketball mom, football mom, and NICU mom. I also have 2 years of digital marketing experience under my belt, so SEO, social media and email marketing are my specialty.
