Helping Families Flourish
This week we introduced you to Sara Binkley-Tow, mother of two and Executive Director of the non-profit organization, MomsBloom. MomsBloom is an “extended family” for moms who need physical or emotional support during childbearing years. Every parent knows how overwhelming it can be, and MomsBloom is there to connect you with volunteers for your family’s needs.
Services include emotional support, companionship, newborn care, meal preparation, light household tasks, care for siblings, parent education and community resource connections.

I’ve been a part of the WOOD TV8 team since 2005. As Special Projects Producer, I work side by side with Maranda making things happen behind the scenes. I coordinate Maranda’s Park Parties each summer and produce a variety of station broadcasts and events through out the year. I also serve as the producer of Maranda’s weekly half-hour show, Where You Live. I love the variety of my job and getting to be a part of the impact Maranda is making on kids in our community!
Outside of work, I've been married for seven years to my husband John and we have two beautiful daughters, Sophia and Stella. When I'm not busy trying to keep up with the kids, I spend "me time" reading fashion or celebrity magazines, sneaking in some good reality television, walking around Reeds Lake with girlfriends and exploring new restaurants with my hubby.
Inspirations for my blog come from my daily life as a busy working mom -- trying to juggle a full time job and be a full time mom to a spitfire five year old and a new baby.
