Welcome to Girl on the Move!
My mission is simple: Get as many books as possible into the hands of as many kids as possible.
I fully believe…
“You only get one life. It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.” – Jojo Moyes in Me Before You
I’m Julie and I am a Girl on the Move! I was born and raised in Southern California. I moved to the East Coast after college but returned to California after too many winters shoveling snow! I am an elementary teacher and love spending time with my family, traveling and reading books.
Through email newsletters, social media recommendations, a YouTube channel, connecting with authors, and conversations with parents and teachers, my goal is to help 8-12 year-old readers find their next right book.
Whether we’re on the road, in the air, or in our favorite reading chair, let’s discover the world together! I am committed to inspiring each and every one of my readers to read more, chase big dreams and step out of their comfort zones to explore new adventures and places.
Readers:
I absolutely love connecting with readers, so feel free to send me an email at MGLitList {at} gmail {dot} com anytime! And if you live in Southern California or are visiting, I’d love to meet up to chat about books or travel.
Brands/Media/PR Contacts:
If you would like to work with, I would love to hear from you! You can contact me at MGLitList {at} gmail {dot} com.

Hi, Julie! I’m visiting from the Elevate Blog Conference Linky! One of my goals is to visit all 50 states also, although unlike you I have not been to Alaska or Hawaii yet! My husband would just LOVE your Ballparks Around America tab… I know that’s definitely one of his goals in life! Looking forward to meeting you at the conference!

Looks like we have a few things in common. I’m a teacher for now and I also am a Thirty One consultant. I’ll also be moving to California in a few short months. Enjoy reading your posts – especially the meal plans!

Hi Julie,
I love your blog! I just stumbled upon it on Linked In and it’s so good! And, I love that you are from Orange County. I grew up in Monarch Bay, but now live in Northern California 🙂 I noticed on your profile you are in the Lifestyle Blogging space. You have a very impressive resume. Congrats on a fantastic career thus far.
I am actively networking with like minded women in this space about our Stylist opportunity as you may be an excellent fit for my company.
We’re looking for reps/leaders in the Orange County market & beyond. We are a Lifestyle brand called Stella & Dot selling boutique accessories & apparel to the tune of $300 Million in revenues per year. Have you heard of us?
About me…I am married with three kids and have a background in event planning. In 2007 I opened a retail boutique and during that time I learned of Stella & Dot. I started as a stylist to raise money for causes near and dear to my heart, but now, I am lucky enough to call this my full time job. My passion now is helping women earn flexible income while being a Mom first and foremost.
I wondered if you were interested in learning more?
Thanks again for accepting my invitation to connect.

I just wrapped up 5 1/2 weeks in Europe and I’ll be doing some traveling around California the next couple of months before heading to England in November!
