Volume 1
I introduced the team in a blog post so it was only fitting to introduce some of the Motherchic readers! Funny thing is… I’ve never actually met these ladies. Although I feel like I’ve known them for years! The internet and social media usually get a bad rap, but I am so thankful to be connected with these women. The community of women that creates my readers is truly incredible. Here are three readers that have been with me for a while… and stay tuned because there are more fabulous ladies to meet!
Let’s meet a few…
