Working Moms Against Guilt is powered by these wonderful women. Get to know them and feel free to connect.
Angela Adriatico
Angela, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, has lived in sunny Southern California since she was 4 years old. Besides studying English in college, Angela has ghostwritten several projects over the last five years. She is now the mother of two wonderful (don’t we all think our kids are totally wonderful?) kids, ages 15 and 2.
Even though life seems a bit hectic at times she still has the need to find the time to visit her family back in Cincinnati regularly because of her family-oriented nature. On the other hand, with two kids and practically being a single mother, she has difficulty finding time for her hobbies: reading, reading, and more reading. (She is probably “allowed” about 20 minutes a few nights a week right before bedtime.)
While her kids are a handful (aren’t all kids?), Angela finds that they inspire her to be a better person, and teach her things along the way. Throughout her journey she looks forward to sharing her stories with you and hopes to help you through the guilt here at WMAG.

Jennifer Blodgett
Jennifer lives in the amazing state of Montana where she currently works for the Department of Child and Family Services. Although the safety and well-being of others is a high priority for her, she is working on finding balance as a working mother.
Jennifer has two young children and a great husband who is supportive and likes to do the dishes. Jennifer enjoys the summer months in Montana with her family by attending the local farmer’s market and any local downtown event. A goal for her each year is to get out in the community more and to spend more time in nature. This goal is rarely met but hey, nobody’s perfect.
Jennifer has worked in many different organizations over the years including Family Planning and Head Start. She has found that young children and their families are a passion of hers and she tries to make her work at DPHHS meaningful. Jennifer serves on the County Health Center board and is an active member of the Best Beginning Council in her area.
Being creative is one of the few outlets that Jennifer has at the moment and she enjoys giving away her jewelry pieces to close friends. During the dark and cold winter months in Montana, Jennifer can be found crocheting brightly colored hats for children and friends. Pinterest and SongPop are addictions that Jennifer cannot deny.
Jennifer stumbled across Working Moms Against Guilt after the birth of her second child and found the website to ease the stress of parenting. She is very honored to be included with such an inspirational group of women.

Joni Clifford
Joni is a 40-something-year-old mother of two very energetic boys, 5 and 2.5, and has been married for 8 years to the man of her dreams. She and her husband share a devotion to a balanced, healthy family life, career and marriage and maintaining a loving, fun environment for their boys.
Joni started her journey in small, rural town in central Pennsylvania, the youngest of four children. Growing up in a poor family and community influenced her to dream of becoming a successful business manager. After putting herself through college, she hit the job market as the dotcom and IT boom hit. She landed a job as an software analyst and went with it! Ten years later she moved to the DC Metro area to pursue a career opportunity and met her future husband 5 months later.
For work, she is a Business Analyst for a dog-friendly software company that supports Federal Government customers, which sounds very boring but there is truly never a dull moment when dealing with programmers, the federal government and poodles and Chihuahuas!
For fun, she enjoys exercise (mostly running but is doing her first triathlon sprint this year), the outdoors, and gardening and is a self-proclaimed “armchair” psychologist. She believes in balance in all things, especially work/life, and strives to live a healthy, Earth-friendly life. Her sense of humor, balance and “let’s keep it real” approach to life has kept her (mostly) sane throughout her life and especially the toddler years.
Joni became interested in WMAG during her transition to parenthood and working mom status. She hopes to be able to support new and seasoned moms by sharing her stories, having a laugh or two along the way and hopefully learning a bit herself!

Angela Curtis
Angela went to Michigan State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Economy. After briefly working in politics, she decided to attend law school. She graduated from Michigan State University College of Law in 2005.
She worked as an Assistant Prosecutor for almost five years until 2010, when she made the switch to the private sector and began working at a Detroit area law firm. She loves being a lawyer, mainly because she gets paid to write, argue and find evidence to support the fact that she is right.
Angela lives in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan with her husband and two daughters, who were born in 2008 and 2010. She spends her nights and weekends trying to keep her house clean, the laundry done, and cram in as many meaningful experiences as possible with her family. She is moderately obsessed with books and British TV shows.

Kathy Holsonbake
Kathy has earned wages as a working cowboy, writer, reporter, housekeeper and media consultant. However, her most challenging (and rewarding) calling, earns her no salary. Her roles as mother, wife, amateur veterinarian, novice fence mender, and enthusiastic chainsaw operator fill her heart, time and life. She currently works full time as a home health and hospice marketer. Previous professional careers include member services liaison for Oklahoma’s rural electric cooperatives and television news reporter in Sin City (Las Vegas).
Holsonbake married her high school sweetheart after the pair was reunited 14 years after they first fell in love. They live on a small acreage in Slaughterville, OK, with their 19-year-old daughter, Kelsey; 8-year-old son, Levi; an ancient horse (Samson is 35), 25 chickens, 4 cats, one 3-legged dog named Xena, a leopard gecko, numerous fish and a host of wildlife that drops by regularly.
Sara Jacob
Sara is a single, working mama with a degree in Communications from Indiana University strapped to her hip. She is still searching for a career that allows her to harness her creative prowess, while supporting her family. Until then, she spends her days crunching numbers for Ashland Inc. in Dublin, Ohio, and using her house, kid, fiance and friends as guinea pigs for her pent up creativity, crafty projects and mostly edible recipes. Sara is enamored with her incredibly active, impulsive, creative, hilarious, smarty-farty, 1st grade son, “B”. When she’s not at Target, Container Store or on Pinterest, she can be found riding scooters in the cul-de-sac, watching cartoons in the basement fort or looking for ways to make life just a smidge easier.

Cara Reeves
Cara was part of the original WMAG crew. Cara contributed to the blog until stepping down in 2009 to pursue her work as a freelance copywriter and to manage a household of hooligans. She likes spending time on creative projects and hobbies.

Lauren Reid
Lauren sometimes admits that she is a lawyer, but she mostly likes to talk about being a wife to her college sweetheart and a mother to two amazing little boys, born in 2009 and 2012. She has often considered leaving the oh-so-glamorous legal life for the Washington Ballet for all of the times the men in her life keep her on her toes.
She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Denison University (Ohio) and her law degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Originally from Virginia Beach, VA, she is happy to be back in her home state, living in a suburb of Washington, DC.
Though her actual career provides her with plenty of opportunities to write, she is thrilled to have the chance to share her musings on motherhood with WMAG readers. She is a (really big) closet geek who loves to research, so she encourages readers to reach out to her with topic ideas.

Sydney

Stephanie Tsales
Stephanie lives in the sunny south, in an area of Florida most consider one of the happiest places on earth. 
She splits her time between a gig in higher education, lots of crazy hobbies, and her family: husband Mr. Handsome, their new daughter Peachy, and a rescue pug named Meatball.
Stephanie is an avid music fanatic and contributing blogger at the music blog Blinded by Sound. She’s also constantly crafting, usually drinking wine, and forever challenging the boundaries of the statement necklace.
New to the working mom world, and…well…the mom world in general, Stephanie is still fighting the guilt monster almost daily. She tries really hard to not carry working mom guilt, but when she does she carries it in a pretty fabulous handbag.
