The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse
I love being up early, but I've never been good at getting up early. I'm grouchy and groggy in the morning, even though I'm instantly awake multiple times in the middle of the night if any of the children so much as wimper. (Hmmm... connection,...
Moms On Issues
with Sara and Veronica
I love sports. I love the thrill of last-minute interception, a diving catch in the outfield, an overtime goal to win the game. And I especially love the Olympic Games, which are starting up in Beijing next month. This year, I'm really looking...
Mommy Needs a Business
with Kristen
So I'm getting ready to go to the grand pappy of all trade shows for baby and kid items. Apparently no one has gotten the memo that my real seller is the Mommy Needs a Cocktail. Maybe I haven't gotten that memo. Hmm. Either way, I'm going.

Catch Your Breath
with Karen M & Karen R
By the time you read this I'll be deep in the throes of a ten-day meditation retreat. That's ten days, ten hours a day, of meditating.
Great, you're thinking, she must meditate a lot.
Well, no. Like, practically never. So I am terrified...
The Work It, Mom! Blog
with Nataly
I am late to blog about the article in Newsweek about recent studies showing that having kids does not make you happy. But after I read it I had to think about it for a bit.

Cornered Office

Casual Friday with Mir---because some days are made for wearing your jeans and surfing the blogs.
Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! Hopefully, you're off work and ready for some fun, today. But even if your day contains little...
Ordering Disorder
with Chris Jordan
Who doesn't love corn-on-the-cob?
My favorite thing to do with corn on the cob is to grill it.
Step One: Peel off the first few layers of husk.
Step Two: Soak the corn on the cob in water for at least 15 minutes while you warm up the...
Work It, Dad!
with Avi Spivack
So we're moving. At the end of this month. For the fourth time in the last five years. (Yes, I know, don't remind me.)
And as we gather ourselves - mentally - and our stuff - physically - I started to think about the last few months and...
Full Time, All the Time
with Karen and Robyn
It's the Fourth of July today. Independence Day. The day is one of my favorite holidays. It's in the summer, is notorious with a big barbeque, practically every city in America has a parade, and - my personal favorite - a big fireworks show. ...
Single Mom at Work
with Kristin Darguzas
It's 4:37 AM and the streets are pitch black, the birds silent and the house completely still. I've blow dried my hair and guzzled my third cup of coffee, vainly hoping that the caffeine will shoot up into my face and do something about those...
Milk and Cookies
with Linda and Kristen
It's been a month since my baby had his first birthday, and it's time to call the winners of the Best Birthday Present for a One-Year-Old competition.
First prize goes to the Fisher-Price Baby Gymtastics Bounce and Spin Zebra. My parents...
Entrepreneur Mom
with Aliza Sherman
This is a topic that isn't exactly a business one but I am finding that it is without a doubt an essential thing for both my work and personal life. I have to learn how to be.
If you are a Type A, over-achieving type (so many entrepreneurs...
The Working Closet
with Susan Wagner
The following post is from the archives of Friday Style.
I went to a swank cocktail party over the weekend; the invitation specified that the attire was "after five." When my friend Molly called to invite me, she said, "I don't know about...
