Hi, Eileen,
I’ve just discovered your blog and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nataly Kogan and I am the co-founder and CEO of Workitmom.com.(Thank you for including us in your blogroll:)
I’ve enjoyed reading through your blog and wanted to encourage you to share the process you’re going through of going back to work/school with our large community at Work It, Mom!. We have many moms who are in a similar situation and many who are going to face it and hearing your thoughts and learning about your experiences would be enormously encouraging and helpful.
As you might know, we have a very popular section with Member Articles and I’d love to see a few from you there about your going back to work journey. You can submit articles easily by using our online form here:

I very much look forward to reading more about your going back to school experience.
I’d also like to interview you for Work It, Mom! — we have interviewed many moms from different careers/paths and your experience would be quite interesting. If you’re up for it, please let me know and I’ll connect you with our editor.
Great blog Eileen! I commend you for returning to school and work. Have you blogged about going back to school yet? That is a great transition in itself, as I too can relate, having returned to school after working for over 12 years. I see that you have received a few visitors who share your story. I give your project an A. 
Best,
Michelle

Eileen, your site is great! And very interesting too! I went back to work part time two years ago and then 6 months ago, my husband and I started our own firm together. Now I balance home and full-time work!
It is a stuggle, but it is worth it!
Good luck to you!

Good advice for those of us who have been home for a few years or a long time. I don’t plan to return to the work force any time soon; however, I do like to keep current on information that will be helpful when I do decide to look for employment. It pays to be prepared. You never know what your future will hold.
The website is great. Very informative and supportive. I will log on frequently.
ype your comment here.Anyone reading my comment needs to know, first of all, Eileen is my sister, second, I am so very proud of her, and third, she may not know this, but her strength and drive to become the best she can be is one of the reasons I was able to overcome my fears and push forward,at one of the most difficxult times in my life, go back to school, and make a better life for my two daughters and myself. Thank you, Eileen. I love you.
P.S. If I can do it, anyone can. I was the wild sister
Hi Eileen!
Great site. Very readable. I like that you vary the lengths of your posts, and their formats. You have a strong voice, it’s very warm and you give good information too. I thought the YouTube video was hilarious, especially the part where they’re raiding the office supplies because their kids are running out of pencils. Have you done blogging before? Your site looks very professional.
Keep it up!
Joyce
