Join us on Monday, May 7th from 6-8 pm at Candita Clayton’s Gallery – Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket, Rhode Island!
Stop by for good conversation, drinks, snacks and raffles!
Kidoinfo is hosting an evening to celebrate all of us who are Balancing Motherhood in our lives. In honor of Mother’s Day (May 13th) real moms will briefly share their stories on how they balance their life as parents with their passions, work, relationships, and plans for the future. This Kidoinfo community event is a night out not to be missed. You will have the chance to connect with others who are mixing family with creativity, business, and as much grace & humor as possible.
In addition to celebrating Mom, we’re toasting Kidoinfo on its 5th Birthday. I am overjoyed when I hear people refer to us as “the trusted hub for information and resource for parents and families in Rhode Island.” We’ll even have birthday cupcakes to celebrate the event!
Four awesome women will speak briefly about how they balance what they do, followed by plenty of time to mix and mingle with them and others during the evening. I will post more information about the speakers and the event in the weeks ahead.

Mother of 4 in RI running a brewery, not sure how she manages that balance, but it seems to be successful, so far.

Lots of press recently about Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, for leaving the office every day at 5:30 p.m. to be with her kids. Many opinions about whether 40 hours is enough to be successful.
