Let's put mommy guilt in its place.
School is in full swing again and I am sure we are all busy trying to get our schedule back in order. While we focus on what supplies they need, what they are wearing to school, making sure they don’t miss the bus and trying to balance that with work as well, it is also [...]
I don’t know how I didn’t realize O’s school was a parent co-op before I enrolled him. Or maybe somewhere I read that it was, but I didn’t really knew what it meant. What it means is that that parents are heavily involved. Very heavily involved, which honestly, is a very, very awesome thing, but [...]

Since I went AWOL from the corporate world last fall, I’ve been operating my home-based freelance writing business with the help of part-time child care. Basically, I had three hours each weekday morning to get my work done. I optimistically hoped I’d get more done during afternoon naps or after the kids went to bed [...]
