So now that it's down to the wire, I am going to shamelessly and humbly ask you, my wonderful network of friends and colleagues, to PLEASE take a moment out of your busy days to vote for me in the 2009 StartupNation Leading Moms in Business Competition.

A couple of months ago, I posted a blog asking for your support as I entered the competition.

Most of you know me as a professional Home Stager in Los Angeles, but you may not know that I am also a mom of two wonderful kids ages 3 & 6. I started my Home Staging business in 2004, when my eldest was just a toddler, as a way to be home with him while also doing something I loved. Though having a home-based business does allow for some flexibility with my schedule, as any working mom knows, it is also a tough road to haul. Now that my Staging business has grown, I often find myself working much longer hours than I did when I worked for someone else. And I struggle with balancing work and family life just like all the other working parents in this country. So I was very excited to learn that now there's a way for entrepreneurial moms to be recognized for their hard work!

StartupNation, in partnership with Ladies Who Launch, has created a Leading Moms in Business competition, and I would love your vote.

Please click on the StartUp Nation logo below and it will bring you to my profile page. Below the photo, click "Vote for Me." You can vote every day if you are so inclined, but even just a single vote would be much appreciated!

The contest ends on March 30th so we're in the home stretch now and every vote counts!
