The other day, I got a lovely photo card from my neighbors, the Browns.

Guest Post–Balancing Freedom

Hello! Tela here. Between national television appearances, raising my four-year-old, and uh, work, I’ve been a little busy. So I reached out to Dana to ask her to write a guest post.

Top Turkey Day Tips (Guest Post)

Editor’s Note: My friend and former colleague Margee Moore offered to provide WMAG readers with suggestions on how to handle a house full of guests, sweet-potato-casserole-high kids and a 50-lb bird with style.

Who Created This Guilt? (Guest Post)

A while back, a friend and former colleague asked me if she could contribute a guest post to WMAG. As a divorced, single working mom, she felt like she had something to say to our readers (and she’s a regular reader, so she’s familiar with our usual topics). It took me a while to get [...]

Calling All Working Moms Who (Shhh) Love Their Work (Guest Post)

Paging Dr. Mom (Guest Post)

Note from Susan: I’ve been really lucky since I started my freelance gig last fall, because I’ve had some fantastic clients.
