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 [...]
Come Back, Dave Chappelle! America Needs You
Dear Dave Chappelle, I know you needed some time off after your whole Chappelle’s Show/Comedy Central breakdown thing a few years ago. When you suddenly abandoned your own show and dropped off the face of the earth, I was stunned and disappointed – but I understood. You’re a comedy genius. You burned your brilliant candle [...]
New Business Idea: Man Cold Recovery Centers
Once in a while, I come up with a brilliant idea for a business or invention. Problem is, I don’t have the proper resources to bring these brilliant ideas to fruition. But with my latest brainchild, I’m looking for an angel investor to get this thing off the ground. It’s GOLD, Jerry! Gold! The idea: [...]
Am I the Only One Who’s a Zombie by 9 PM?
Brain cells … dying … can’t turn away … When I discussed my recent post about our bookless book club with my friend Andrea, she casually mentioned how she’s able to fit regular book-reading into her life. “I watch TV for a little while after I put Eli to bed, then read in bed for [...]
Doing a Little Networking
Working moms know the power of networking, whether you’re talking about finding a new job, a great sitter and your next must-read blog. That’s why Working Moms Against Guilt decided to join the brand spankin’ new Cincy Moms Blog Network, part of the Cincinnati Enquirer‘s family of websites. We’re thrilled to be featured alongside some [...]
Guest Post on Diets in Review
When she heard I was back on the diet wagon again, my bloggy friend Carmen (Mom to the Screaming Masses) invited me to post about my experience on Diets in Review — she happens to be Chief Mom for that site. (Great title, right?) So I did. Laid it all out there about my weight [...]
Pssst: My Book Club Doesn’t Actually Read Books!
It’s my turn to host my book club tonight, and I’m extra-excited because this time I’m actually prepared. My house is clean (thanks to my previously mentioned new cleaning lady). I have the food all taken care of (courtesy of my favorite “caterer,” the Kroger Deli). Childcare is covered by my lovely Hubs, who will [...]
The Bloggers Take Manhattan
In the world of moms who blog, New York City is the place to be this weekend. It’s BlogHer, baby! The A-listers, D-listers and every other kind of blogger converges at this conference to …well, everyone has her own agenda. Some go to party. (And parties, there are aplenty.) Others go to meet up with [...]
A Working Mom’s Dream Come True: I Got Me a Cleaning Lady!
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) [...]
The “Real” List of Best Cities for Working Moms
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 [...]
