Spotlight on Women Entrepreneurs/Ginny Woodruff

Ginny Woodruff blog-2In her own words:

I founded the site Great Moments in Parenting, which aims to bring humor and honesty back into the parenting debate.

Great Moments in Parenting is an open blog where moms and dads submit moments, essays and photos about “the agony and ecstasy of life with kids.”  I had the idea to start a blog that anyone could submit to, women and men, that focuses on short “moments,” like Facebook posts, and to make it open to all moments of parenting—not just the good ones. Thus our “no judgment” motto. The stories serve as group therapy (“I feel better because that happened to someone else, too.”) Thus our other motto: “Share your stories–it’s cheaper than therapy.”It was a finalist in the 2013 SXSW Interactive Awards.

I’m a writer, editor and public speaker. In 2013, I gave a Bruin Talk at UCLA’s Alumni Day: “These Aren’t Your Parents’ Kids.” I’m also writing a book about motherhood.
