Cornered Office
with Mir Kamin
I was sitting around with a group of people the other day, and they were all talking about how it's nearly Thanksgiving, and after that it's just a smooth slide on down to winter break. "Oh, I have to get that done this week," one of them said,...
Problem Solved!
with Problem Solved
By Maria of Immoral Matriarch
It's very, very easy to become sucked into blogging and for it to begin taking up way too much of your time. You begin to read, and write, and comment, and subscribe and all of a sudden it begins to feel...
The Work It, Mom! Blog
with Nataly
I find myself stressing about the economy/money/business a lot these days and I know I am not alone, not by a long shot. And while I am not that good at it, I keep trying different things to relieve my stress because there's absolutely nothing...
Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella
Dear American friends:
Please do not hate me that I mention Christmas before you have dealt with Thanksgiving. Us Canadians had Thanksgiving a month ago, which means that Christmas is FAIR GAME here in Canada.
Love, Angella.

Single Mom at Work
with Kristin Darguzas
My friend emailed me late one night this week, an update email about his kids, his work, and what was stewing in his head. He’s a fairly newly divorced dad, with a 7 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. His ex-wife and the kids live...
The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse
We took care of my brother's dog over the weekend, and Saturday night, after tucking the littlest two into their beds, I grabbed her leash to walk her once last time before I settled down to my freelance work.
It had been a hectic, crowded...
The Working Closet
with Sarah
This week, I dove into some internet research on plus-size styles, and I must say, I'm a little alarmed at most of the plus-sized "tips" out there. Several of the articles I read seemed to lump all plus-size women into one generic category,...
Ordering Disorder
with Chris Jordan
For the month of November there is something fun happening over here at this little cooking blog. I asked some of my favorite bloggers to share a recipe that they will be making this holiday season. Whether it is a holiday specific recipe...

Full Time, All the Time
with Britt and Robyn
Do you ever feel like you are keeping score of your performance as a working mother? I know, I know… the game of life is not a competitive sport. Still at the end of every day, I know the score of that day’s juggle. And whether it...
Moms On Issues

When I was a kid my parents worked weekends. My dad at his second job and my mom worked nights in a hospital. They worked their schedules out so that every other weekend my two younger sisters and I spent the weekend with my grandma. This allowed...
Mommy Needs a Business
with Kristen
I apologize to all of you who have now stumbled across this post as a result of a google search. In fact, this post has absolutely nothing to do with pre-game rituals, must-have appetizers and the cocktail concoctions of choice. Cocktails.......
Parenting Without a Manual
with Karen Murphy
Growing up, the worst word I ever heard my mom say was "rat-biscuits." When I was eight my mom cried when my older brother and I wouldn't stop uttering made-up possibly-sex-related words, enjoying saying them for the sheer scandoulousness of...
Work It, Dad!
with Avi Spivack
So a long-time buddy of mine just had a baby (well, his wife did), and I had to take him out for a celebratory lunch (in these times, we went to Taco Bell).
I saw him from afar, and then when I got closer, I noticed that he hadn't shaved...
Milk and Cookies
with Linda and Kristen
I've been listening to my iPod on shuffle recently and it's been unexpectedly enjoyable -- I keep hearing music I haven't played in years, and as I drive to and from work I drift in and out of these nostalgic fugues. Music can make you remember...

Off the Clock
with Karen
Before I get into The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, a bit of disclaimer about how I choose my books. When walking into a bookstore, the following might inform my decision:
1. I like the title.
2. I like the cover picture.
