About The Founder

The Dabbling Mum is run by Alyice Edrich, a mother of two, a wife of 21+ years, and a small business woman. She created this publication as a way to give back to other work-at-home, stay-at-home parents, to give new writers a chance at publication, and yes, to help support her family.

While Alyice is the main force behind the publicaton, she considers it a collaborative effort because without the help of her many freelance writers, or the input of her readers, the publication wouldn't be what it is today.
