More than eight years ago, I sent the first e-update link to an online newsletter to a group of about 30 area moms, and I asked them to forward to their friends to help spread the word to share resources, tips and event reminders in the online newsletter.
A website was born.
About a month later, a local mom mentioned she knew someone who could write articles on Book Recommendations for the newsletter. Enter
Julie Kaiser! Julie has been my right hand on content far beyond the Book Nook. She has been our Director of Editorial Content and Media Relations. She's recruited other women to write, managed all of the deadlines, edited, organized, everything I've asked. We've shared much beyond the website as well. Life's challenges have hit both of us, and fortunately we've laughed and appreciated the good and the bad.
Now Julie has chosen to step away from the site as a regular contributor. But she assures me she will always be a fan, and I know she will always be a friend.
ALL of us at Springfield Moms say Thank You, Julie! We wish you the best in your new endeavors.
