Hi, I'm Lori!

About Me – Lori, the Hard Working Mom

Hey friend! I’m Lori — the creator behind Hard Working Mom and RCL Signs and More.

I’ve been a crafter for over 30 years and a CPA for 25 years, with experience as a CFO and business owner. But the heart of everything I do? That’s family.

I started this business so I could stay home to homeschool my two boys and care for my elderly parents, who have lived with us for over 11 years. My parents started out independent, but now they need daily support — and being here for them is something I wouldn’t trade for the world.

My sons, Ross (19) and Carson (18), are both IVF miracles, and I treasure them with everything I have. Carson is finishing high school, and Ross is getting ready to start college — I couldn’t be more proud.

Starting this business gave me the flexibility to be present for my family while still pursuing my love for crafting and helping others. Through Hard Working Mom, I teach everything from wreath-making and centerpieces to lantern swags and bows — and through RCL Signs and More, I offer handmade UV sublimation signs, ribbon sets, and tools that make crafting easier and more fun.

I believe creativity is for everyone, and I’m here to help you feel confident, encouraged, and inspired — one project at a time.

Why Hard Working Mom?

I’m a Hard Working Mom, just like so many of you out there — juggling family, business, and life. Being a parent doesn’t limit your ability to succeed. In fact, it’s one of your greatest strengths.

My goal is to help you avoid the mistakes I’ve made and shorten your learning curve as you build your own business. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to grow in today’s social media-driven world, success is absolutely within reach — you just need the right tools and guidance.

At Hardworkingmom.com, I share my best tips for:

  • Growing on social media

  • Setting up and running a business

  • Staying organized and motivated

  • And creating a life and business you truly love
