Who has done this before?

Mothers in academia, in their own words, and a board for the practical stuff nobody puts in the handbook.

Real stories

Share yours

I'm collecting stories from academic mothers: how you did it, what helped, and what you wish someone had told you. If you'd like to be interviewed, leave your name and email and I'll reach out!

The tip board

Tips from moms, wherever you are

Student, working, or serving, you don't need a university to belong here. Add yours, and browse what others have shared!

The board is waiting for its first tip.

Got something that helped you juggle school, work, service, and kids? Add it. Tips show up after I've read them.

Add a tip

For moms and moms-to-be, wherever you are: in school, at work, or serving. You don't need a university to belong here. Please leave out kids' names and anything private.
