The Work It, Mom! Blog

with Nataly

One day when I have a bit of extra cash lying around I am going to commission a study about all the things women are doing right at work. For now, we have yet another bit of research to suggest that we're sometimes our own enemies when it comes...

Full Time, All the Time

with Karen and Robyn

This evening, I came across the latest issue of BusinessWeek, a issue being touted as special because it's the first issue "created in collaboration with readers."  With the help of surveys, blogs and polls, the magazine identified the problems...

Moms On Issues

with Sara and Veronica

Don't fret my Republican & Green friends, I shall cover you all as well. Since I did miss the Green Party convention a few weeks ago, I'll do them next week as the GOPers are gathering the week afterward. Today marks the start of the...

Cornered Office

with Mir Kamin

Freelancing deja vu: The feeling that you have mismanaged your multiple contracts in exactly this way, before. Ugh. Um, hi! Do you remember how once I wrote this pretty great post (if I do say so myself) about how at a certain point,...

Single Mom at Work

with Kristin Darguzas

I don't believe I can have it all.  I don't mean that in a negative way, just realistically. As a single Mom, (taking romantic love out of the equation) looking only at the triage of home, work, and child,  I can only keep two happy. ...

Catch Your Breath

with Karen M & Karen R

The Law of Attraction. You've probably heard of it.  It would be difficult not to have.  But ... what is it, and how can you make it work for you to help you create the life you want? A few weeks ago I was in Portland Oregon attending...

Mommy Needs a Business

with Kristen

My friend Wendy is really trying to fix me. She is the one that brought me into the wild and crazy world of craft shows. She swears by craft shows. Once you get beyond all those people who pull out 9 million items from the back of a minivan...

Ordering Disorder

with Chris Jordan

I have been somewhat uninspired to cook lately. Want to know why? Could it be because I still do not have a working kitchen? This is pretty much what my kitchen looks like right now, only my husband has finished putting the sink in....

Milk and Cookies

with Linda and Kristen

I divide children's television shows into four categories: 1) Shows I have a philosophical objection to the kids watching. 2) Shows I have no philosophical objection to, but can't stand to have on because they make me feel as if sharing...

Entrepreneur Mom

with Aliza Sherman

Image by Choconancy1 via Flickr I used to fear delegating tasks to others, even trusted staff. As a Type-A, over-achieving, perfectionist type, I just couldn't imagine anyone else would care as much about a task, much less a job or client,...

The 36-Hour Day

with Lylah M. Alphonse

There's a really interesting conversation starting in one of our discussion groups, where a member asked if anyone feels pressure at work because they're black. The question struck a chord with me and really made me think. As you can see...

The Working Closet

with Sarah

Let's face it. In today's economy, we are all looking for ways to stretch our dollar. Why should it be any different with regards to fashion? Whether your daily work ensemble involves a tailored suit or jeans and a tee, these additions will...

Work It, Dad!

with Avi Spivack

So my wife's fourteen-wanna-be-eighteen-year-old cousin came to visit this past week from Florida. As an older guy who is not his own father, he does idolize me a tad, largely because I can play basketball with him. I have known him since he...
