Milkmemos Blog

Last week, Cate and I were interviewed by Forbes Magazine for an article about how to survive the first week back at work.  So, if you know a mom who is getting ready to go back to work — or if you care to relive your first week back — check out the article, which was published on Tuesday.

Tara Forbes, the author, does a nice job of summing up what to expect and how to prepare. Enjoy.

The Milk Bank of New England needs your help! The Bank, formed in March of 2006, expects to start processing milk this spring, but could really benefit from a little financial boost. That’s where you come in. A site called IdeaBlob is running a contest open to anyone with a business or non-profit idea — and the Milk Bank of New England is up for consideration to win $10,000. Winners will be selected by votes cast online — so cast your vote today (the first round of voting ends on 1/21). Here’s how:

1. Go to the Got Milk IdeaBlob.
2. Cast your vote! (you’ll have to register first and then confirm by e-mail).

It’s that simple — and if the Milk Bank wins, they will use the money received for processing and storage equipment, a “milk money” fund (to help families whose insurance won’t cover processing fees,) and marketing materials to spread the word about the new bank.

Happy voting!
