About Me
Tara Paterson is the mother of three children ages 11, 7 and 2. She has been building bridges with moms and families for many years. Her passion first revealed itself with JustforMom.com, a website offering advice, ideas and resources designed to “touch each mom’s life, one mom at a time.” She went on to create Moms In Print, a resource to assist, educate and guide mom writers to realize their dream of being a published author; and in July 2004, Ms. Paterson launched her non-profit concept The Just For Mom Foundation (pending status). The Foundation has been involved with projects that involved a grassroots effort to support the Reading Rainbow; the creation of the prestigious Mom’s Choice Awards® where Tara serves as spokesperson; and is the recipient of a portion of the proceeds from the Chicken Soup series - Chicken Soup for the Mother and Son Soul. Tara received her parent coach certification through the Academy for Coaching Parents International and is currently the only one with an accreditation for Coaching Parents with Intuitives; is a trainer for the Academy in the specialty niche Parenting Intuitive Children; is a nationally syndicated columnist for American Chronicle newspapers and the online publication Children of the New Earth and is a parenting advisor for ParentalWisdom.com and Momference.com. Tara was nominated as the 2002 Entrepreneur of the Year by the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce, and was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year in 2003 by a Northern Virginia networking group. She has also been seen on CNN, the Today Show, the Early Show, 48 Hours and has been featured in the Washington Post, Newsweek, the Purcellville Gazette, the Loudoun Magazine and quoted in the USA Today and Parenting Magazine.
