Hi! JillKrause.com is a new space for me, but I’ve been on the internet for a long, long time. I started my first blog- BabyRabies.com– in the summer of 2007 when I decided to get serious about getting pregnant.
Eventually, Baby Rabies morphed from my anonymous online journal to my full-time career and passion. Vogue Magazine listed me as one of 8 people to follow in your 30s, Time Magazine recognized my Twitter account as one of 140 accounts to follow. In addition, I was recognized and published by US Weekly, Refinery 29, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Today.com, Washington Post, and other online, on-air, and print media outlets.
With an established and internationally recognized platform with over 100,000 readers and social followers engaged monthly, why would I ever leave it? Well, I briefly considered having a 5th baby for more content (I kid… but seriously), but I’m mentally and physically done with making babies. I no longer feel like I belong in the “baby blogger” space, which I felt the title Baby Rabies pegged me into.

About How I Work With Brands
I have a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Missouri, and have been a storyteller as long as I can remember. Whether it’s telling the story of how your product or service has helped our family with a blog post, or showing that story through photos and video, I enjoy telling authentic and relatable stories for the brands I work with.
-
- I am highly selective about who I align with. If you think your brand may be a good fit for me and/or my family, please reach out to me via email and I’ll send along my media kit, a case study, and rates if I also think it would be a mutually beneficial partnership.
