She considers herself an involved mom because her kids call her 4 times a day? I'm a stay at home mom and my kids call my name about 250 times a day.

I really thought there would be absolutely no way anybody could find a way to inject a scintilla of negativity into this thread.

I was wrong, amother.

I known one of the women mentioned in the article, and I can attest to the fact that she is a hardworking, ambitious, outgoing person, and I'm so happy to see her success being an inspiration to others.

I loved the idea of the socks with ruffles.

Plus, I am a huge Shark Tank fan and I would love to see her go on. There was once a post on here about a Chassidish woman going on Shark Tank and I always wondered what happened with it- maybe it was her!

I've removed a divisive sub-thread from this thread. Please, be nice.

There were a few random points in the article which were silly but I liked that it spun a positive view on working women.

I just wish I had the business gene in me to get a business off the ground like this.

Hey! A shoutout to Judy (Yides)! We do lots of business with All Stiles! And yes, she is surrounded by two awesome families of her and her dh's sides.

She was featured in Binah in the summer in the home improvement edition, too.
