Wow, I have been having so much fun networking with other businesswomen and busy working moms in support of the Return to Work Project. I have received numerous contributions from businesses whose products directly support working moms or whose mission is to balance work and family.
I was very excited to meet last week with the owner of the Golden Orchid Spa and Shop in downtown Frederick. Yvette is a busy working mom herself and a very successful entrepreneur with a gorgeous spa. This meeting was so exciting because Yvette is truly passionate about providing services to women guilt-free. Why should a mom feel guilty taking time for herself on the weekend to relax and get a facial? Don't we always leave the spa feeling renewed and truly beautiful? A place like the Golden Orchid is a wonderful retreat whether you have an hour or a whole day without work or kids.
I am trying hard to reach out to all types of businesses that support working moms living in Frederick. Whether a mother returns to work after a short maternity leave or a long leave of absence spent raising her children, these gift packs will have something for everyone. Whether a mother returns to work because she wants to or because she needs to, she will find resources and support through the project.
As we move forward with the project, I am always looking for more contributions. I am also anxious to hear from working moms about the businesses and resources that were essential during the transition back to work.
