Projects funded in support of Chicago Moms Blog

Chicago Moms Blog, a sister site of Silicon Valley Moms, is a collaborative group of moms writing about their lives in Chicago, Ill., where moms endure “El” construction on the way to work, navigate their way into tight parking spots, push strollers through slushy sidewalks, and occasionally indulge in a shopping spree on Michigan Avenue, if, that, is, they can get sitters.

Our writers are working moms, stay at home moms (SAHM), city moms, suburban moms, rural moms--but, most of all, they are opinionated moms. Check out some of the Illinois-based classroom proposals we have selected by clicking on them below.
