Let's put mommy guilt in its place.
I can tell you right now my mom is not going to like this post’s headline. She always gives me grief when I use profanity online. I think she is afraid it makes me look “coarse” or unladylike or something. Sorry, Mom, but I gotsta keep it real. Love you! Enough about my mom, though. [...]
I am losing my mind, folks. Let me paint the picture for you. School’s out. Sitter has the week off. Much-deserved, of course. Baby James has a miserable cold. AGAIN. He just got over one like a week ago. Hubs has debilitating back pain that basically keeps him from doing anything to help with the [...]
Tela here, and I’ve decided to create a Working Mom’s product spotlight, detailing products that make a working mom’s life easier. As a mom, and especially as a working mom, I’ve found that every minute counts. Things that save me time, money, or effort are invaluable, and I want to share. I’ll try to do [...]
Like pretty much every working mom I know, my house is not as clean as I’d like it to be. Not by a long shot. There are spider webs dangling from the ceilings, furry tumbleweeds in the corners, dusty shelves, bathtubs overdue for a good scrubbing, etc. Between working (yes, from home, but still working) [...]
Forbes came out this week with its latest “Top 50″ list: The Best Cities for Working Mothers. Apparently, they took into consideration things like crime rates, health care, schools, job opportunities, earning potential and cost of living. I wasn’t terribly surprised to see Cincinnati, where we WMAG ladies live, at #26 — right in the [...]
Hey, all. I know I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog since we moved into our new house nearly three weeks ago. It’s been a whirlwind of unpacking, settling in, meeting neighbors, getting things fixed, and working. I still don’t have the house the way I want it — way too much still needs [...]
In case you were wondering, hey, why hasn’t WMAG been updated this week — it’s because I’m moving this week. And if you haven’t moved for a while, perhaps you have blocked out the memories of how hard it is to do (kind of like moms do with childbirth). I thought getting the house READY [...]
In an economy where so many houses sit on the market, lonely and sad and dragging down their owners with them, we beat the odds and SOLD OUR HOUSE this week! It happened so quickly, it almost might look “easy” to a casual observer. But let me tell you, transforming a totally messy, dirty, toy-infested [...]
Something about adding a fourth member to your family makes your house feel a lot smaller, doesn’t it? Since we carved out space for baby James last summer, our modest (read: tiny) Cape Cod home has seemed so crowded and tight. Like we’re constantly running into and over each other as we make our separate [...]
Why is it that every time I leave town, I stay up WAY late the night before? My husband doesn’t do this. In fact, he usually goes to bed early on the eve of a business trip. But here I am, up past midnight, with the dishwasher running, laundry washing and drying, my mobile phone [...]
