Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella
I come from a family where divorce runs rampant. I have lived through the aftermath as a child of divorce and vowed at a young age that I did not want to go down that same path. I determined that I wanted to marry a man who shared my faith,...
The Working Closet
with Sarah
First things first, let's all give a hearty congratulations to Metalia, the official Working Closet Accessory Queen. I think she should have a plaque made for her office, yes?
Besides the fact that it was NINETY DEGREES this week, I can't...
Cornered Office
with Mir Kamin
Yesterday I realized something rather unsettling.
Ever since my freelancing business really took off, I've found myself classifying all manner of life activities by hourly wage.
Back when I was salaried, I never quite broke it down that...
Milk and Cookies
with Linda and Kristen
I recently complained on my own blog about a search for flush-mount (flat against the ceiling, rather than dangling from it) light fixtures for our new dining room. I went to a local lighting store, where almost Every Single Option looked...
The Work It, Mom! Blog
with Nataly
I keep promising no more Sarah Palin posts but you know what, I am going to stop. Promising, not posting. We (too) rarely have women running for VP and seeing an unknown political figure catapult to the national stage is intriguing, whatever...
The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse
I feel like I should make the effort to festoon the house with ghouls and goblins -- or at least pumpkins and bales of hay. Most of the houses in my sleepy little New England town slipped into full fall regalia the instant the leaves started...
Ordering Disorder
with Chris Jordan
Edible crafts are the best crafts. At least in my mind they are, because who has room to store project after project!
There is something about baking and cooking that children love. I suspect it has to do with taking ingredients, that...
Working (On) Motherhood
with Leah
My mom asked last night if we had signed up for our childbirth classes yet. "We don't need that crap," I said, "and especially not for two hundred dollars." "Two hundred dollars?!" she said. "Why, in my day..." and thus began another walk down...
Full Time, All the Time
with Karen and Robyn
Unless you already know that your boss is predisposed to letting you telecommute, one the best ways to start a dialogue is to submit a well-written proposal. In your proposal, take a business-case approach, looking at things from your boss's...
Work It, Dad!
with Avi Spivack
Guess who's the disciplinarian in the family, Brad or Angelina? That's right, it's mommy. Are you surprised that it's the woman in the house? I'm not.
It seems that if you look back across the landscape of American mass culture of family...
Moms On Issues
with Sara and Veronica
A shocking, to some, study [pdf] came out last month in the Journal of Applied Psychology concluding that men who hold sexist ideals make more money than anyone else. So what does this mean to us working girls and the good guys out there?
For...
Mommy Needs a Business
with Kristen
Oh, let's get political. Why not? Not really. I just want to talk about the bailout and all the conversation it's generating. I will apologize upfront. My husband is a free market economist. We subscribe to The Economist. You can already...
Catch Your Breath
with Karen M & Karen R
Autumn.
This is officially my favorite time of year.*
Yep, when the leaves start falling, it feels like time to strap on the walking shoes. Time for a little crunch action underfoot. Put your kid in the stroller, grab an apple for...
Single Mom at Work
with Kristin Darguzas
I've been writing about my life on the Internet for about six years now. To the uninitiated, I know, it still seems insane -- why on earth would I want to put it all out there? Why would I want to expose my warts for people to poke at, what...
Entrepreneur Mom
with Aliza Sherman
Applying for a line of credit, like any financing, can be a stressful waiting game. After a series of rejections from my existing corporate bank and a few more from my potential new bank, I was feeling incredibly discouraged. I knew I had a...
Problem Solved!
with Angella
By product guru SLynnRo
My mother, life-long lover of make-up, would not approve of this post. For my mom, “putting on your face” is an Event. While she always looks beautiful, her time consuming rituals have left many annoyed, irritated,...
