International Family Magazine May 2008

My Partners at Hot Moms Club

www.hotmomsclub.com

A few years ago, I got a lovely email from Jessica Denay, author of "Hot Moms Handbook" asking me to write for her new social networking site, "Hot Moms Club" at www.hotmomsclub.com. I was immediately intrigued but was launching my own family magazine, International Family Magazine at www.internationalfamilymag.com. A few months later, Jessica called me back to ask me to be an affiliate partner with 20 other moms around the U.S. doing exciting, innovative things and working at balancing family and career.
I was thrilled and honored. Please read about our launch in L.A. in March in our "IF in the Press" in About IF.

When I was introduced to the other powerhouse mamas, I was inspired. On this page, you will read about some of them. Mamas, take a bow!
