Hi Kendra, I just checked out your blog/website. I'm thinking you are wanting to help mothers balance work and family? i.e. you can have it all??
Your site is very professional and attractive, one thing I would suggest though... it doesn't really come across as a blog. I would really call it a website. I wthink what could really help it would be if you linked it to an actual day-to-day type blog where you (and other contributing mums if you like to share the load) can write about the day-today realities of the juggle. This could be accessed from your website via a button and would put legs on what you are promoting through your website. It would make your website stand out from other info-type sites, because it would have the personal touch and people would start to feel they know YOU and would then rely upon your advice. You could promote the daily-ish blog side through mom bloggers club and quickly gain followers (espicially with some of the "following" type groups)

Also I think perhaps your entry page could be a little bit clearer - I was stuck for a second trying to work out where to go next after I landed there. so perhaps differentiate the "click here to enter" a bit more clearly.
Hope that helps

My blog is greatfun4kids... hope you come visit!

Hi Kendra,

Your site looks very professional and has very good continuity and branding. I agree that you could do more with the home page. The info at the top of "talk to me" (which I expected to just be an email link) gives a good overview of you and your site's purpose. To me, it looks like a business site that happens to have a handful of "feature articles," but it's not clear what company the site is for. Is the site to support a consulting business or is the site itself the business? To help viewers recognize that you are an expert, I'd flesh out your bio a bit with what makes you an expert. You say you are a mom and entrepreneur--which is very impressive--but you'll draw more people in with a bit more personal back story. Or, a brief history of the site/company would add interest and credibility.

Congratulations on all you've achieved. Hope this was helpful.

Best,
Deb
