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...
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...
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"...
The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse
A great turkey dinner is one of the most cost-effective meals you can make; it's the sides and wine and desserts that can make the meal extravagant and expensive. Here are five tips for taking care of Thanksgiving on a budget:
1.) Let's...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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 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...
