Author: Working Moms of Milwaukee Welcome to your new one-stop shop for networking professionally and making mom friends! Why is it that networking events can be so awkward? Is it because you feel like you’re selling yourself to strangers? Or is it more that you look around the room and find it hard to relate? …

  • Let’s hear it for Tierney Konitzer! You probably recognize Tierney as she is a spotlight mom alumnae, she’s planned and executed a bunch of events for us, and was even in our @grmkefdn video a few months back. Tierney will be taking on a new role with Working Moms of Milwaukee as our Community Engagement Ambassador. Tierney has been passionate about our Mom Force since day one and has taken on additional projects with our organization... it only seemed fitting to give her a big THANK YOU shout out and elevate her role! So let’s hear it for this amazing mom who volunteers her time and shares her incredible skills to better support and elevate the moms in her community. Thank you, Tierney! #workingmomsmke Photo: @amandavickcreative

  • What is the best thing about being a stepmom? “I met Bianca when she was 8 years old and she was such a beautiful little lady. The best thing about being a step mom is that I can fill in the gaps where I feel she needs a little extra something. I can choose to be her friend, I can choose to be her parent and I can also choose to give her a little silence when I feel it is the most that should be said. It almost feels as if I am the bonus parent!” Read more about our November spotlight mom, Silvia, on the WMM website!

  • Hello Community! Thank you so much for all of the entries for our Mom Owned Business Directory! Rest assured we are going through them and there's a lot of work to be done! We thank you for your patience as we work on this project and will reply to every single email we receive. There is no deadline for sending your info in, but our directory will be launching sometime at the beginning of November (before Thanksgiving). As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article mentioned, we will be hosting this directory completely online and free to access as well.... that way we can keep it updated and add to it - not only new businesses, but new categories and subcategories of businesses. Additional Note: it has been absolutely amazing to learn about all you awesome mom business owners out there! We can't wait to build this supportive community even more and lift each other up! Thank you again everyone! #workingmomsmke
