The article got a great response and I truly enjoyed learning from the other mothers in the article, and it sounds like you did, too. With that, I wanted to keep this going. ...

5 Women on How They’re Balancing Motherhood During Quarantine
This is a post I've been excited about for weeks and can't wait to share with you guys! Like most people out there, March and April have been a struggle. While I'm beyond grateful for our health, our jobs, and our family, it's a trying time for everyone in the world. Working while caring for George has been comical and quite honestly, I'm just trying to survive one day at a time.
Through it all, I've been leaning on connecting with others, especially other women and mothers who are trying to *balance* everything. With that, I thought it would be fun to share some tips from women I really respect. From women I work with every day to others in the industry who make it look easy, I've asked each woman below to share tips on how they're handling daily life right now.
Whether you're a mother or a woman trying to get through this time, I hope this article makes you feel connected and a little more sane. :) ...
15 Businesses Owned by Black Women
Today I want to highlight a handful of women run Black-owned businesses that create and sell a variety of beautiful, high-quality products. While it's always important to diversify where you shop, it's more crucial now than ever with a disproportionate amount of Black-owned businesses being negatively affected by Covid-19. The most recently available Federal Reserve data shows that black business owners are denied loans at twice the rate of white owners, so they are more likely to have trouble finding capital to survive the pandemic, among endless other unfair statistics. ...

5 Fall Staples I’m Buying Right Now
As Fall approaches, I've noticed myself beginning to edit my closet for the new season. It's a routine I follow every now and then – I donate or sell items I no longer wear and tidy up what remains. This allows me the opportunity to reassess and make smart purchases for the upcoming season.
My wardrobe usually stays pretty classic, and after browsing Saks, it was easy for me find a few essential pieces that are making their way into my shopping cart.
From a structured blazer to ballet flats, classic stripes, rounded handbags, and a good pair of well-loved denim, these fall staples are not just items on a checklist – they're practically my fall fashion game plan. ...
