Aren't blogs great?! You touch on something that I often resent though - the perception that working mothers are better than non-moms or men at getting stuff done. I'm hypersensitive to that since my attempts at motherhood have failed but I still manage to kick ass, multi-task, take care of business and other loved ones even without children. Even as a non-mom, I always look at Working Mother for the best companies to work for. That said, big ups to you on this adventure!

I've read Organic Gardening for years and years (I just missed the Ruth Stout years but was there for Mike (still miss him). Please remember all us old timers (hey, I'm only 61) and don't change the magazine to House Too Beautiful. It's the perfect time to introduce tweens to gardening and animal care. Let them learn to eat out out of the garden and how thrilling it is to grow plants without chemicals. I wish I had worked at a business with daycare when I was a single Mom. Go get um, girl!

I knew your grandfather, J.I. and met Bob once or twice, when back in the 50's and 60's I worked for Paul Miner who did PR for Prevention and Organic Gardening and some of the other J.I. projects. I have some very sad stories of our trying to get Prevention time on the air and being turned down for unknown reasons (that we guessed at). Organic Gardening was a more successful project. alaw1@mindspring.com I am very happy for you and to see that Rodale press is solidly in the hands of another Rodale.

I glad to hear that Rodale is fully under your stewardship now. From meeting you at Organic Food Products Expo West last year, I know you are a genuine and very sincere person with a big picture of where you want to take Rodale. Best of luck from me and the rest of the Nature's Path family. Hi Maria,

I have such admiration for women who achieve personal and professional aspirations. And, thanks too for making a difference in the workplace for mothers. I do hope that other companies will follow Rodale's example in offering childcare to its employees. Kudos to you for being celebrated by Working Mother... know that I would be so PROUD to feature you on my site as well as I've made it my mission to see that we, as moms, succeed in all aspects of life. You are an inspiration to mothers everywhere. Bradi, Co-Founder, MyWorkButterfly.com Something tells me that we’d get along seamlessly!

She was a stay-at-home mom until I was six. When my younger sister was one, she went back to work and eventually became one of the company's top executives. What matters is seeing your mother loving life--whether that means home-making or CEO-ing. And many congrats. Can't wait to see what happens next with the Rodale brands! http://mmmmmama.blogspot.com/ My mother is my hero. She was a stay-at-home mom until I was six.
