The Work It, Mom! Blog
with Nataly
Photo from LA Times
The latest political buzz is hard to escape -- apparently President-elect Obama has offered Hillary Clinton the job of Secretary of State. Yes, unofficially, unconfirmed, rumored, but seemingly true if you trust the many...
Problem Solved!
with Problem Solved
For an annoyingly organized person I've been unhappily disorganized during this past year of non-stop work, two moves (yes, two) and general life chaoticness (yes, it's a word, I've checked). So I am inaugurating this Getting Organized weekly...
Parenting Without a Manual
with Karen Murphy
I'm a terrible delegator. I would do a thing myself a hundred times over rather than suffer the agony of hovering over someone else doing it—gasp!—not to my standards. I would do the thing myself those hundred times while all the while...
The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse
I was up late the other night, working, and when I finally rolled up to bed, I was upset that I hadn't gotten enough work done. But I was wiped out, battling yet another cold, and really needed to sleep.
The next morning, I reassessed my...
Ordering Disorder
with Chris Jordan
I am sure that most of you know Shannon from the blog Rocks in My Dryer. If you do not read her blog, why not? You are missing out! I love the name of her blog, by the way. I don't think that I have ever done laundry and NOT found rocks...
Working (On) Motherhood
with Leah
Much of the nine months of this gestation (and before) was spent listening to advice, collecting stories, cataloging the wisdom of my elders (and youngers), and then figuring out what worked best for me, particularly when it came to "must-have"...
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.
My husband...
Full Time, All the Time
with Britt and Robyn
When I was a little girl I dreamed about growing up and having a job. I would get up in the morning and put on my power suit, hop on a train and head to the office. At the end of the day I would pack up my briefcase, put on my very professional...
Moms On Issues
with Sara and Veronica
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...
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...
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.......
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...
Milk and Cookies
with Linda and Kristen
All year long, I clip those little "Box Tops for Education" thingies, and the kids bring them in to their school. I didn't know it until this school year, but the Box Tops program also has something called "Marketplace," where certain online...
Entrepreneur Mom
with Aliza Sherman
Obligatory disclaimer: I have been given an Epson WorkForce 600 all-in-one device to review but also to keep. If you know me at all, you will know that this in no way compromises the following review.
One thing I know about myself, and I...
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,...
Off the Clock
with Karen
A couple of weeks ago, I was busy braiding my four-year-old's hair. "Stand STILL, Alex!" I said, impatiently tugging on her plait. "If you keep moving, you're going to look like Pippi Longstocking."
Alex burst out laughing. "I'm going...
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,...
