So you might be thinking how is it possible to have an adults only vacation with your kids? Simple answer...your kids are adults! Last summer I traveled with my adult children and shared highlights of our trip to Asia in a previous blog post. It was an amazing adventure. However this summer we did s...

My baby is now 15 going on 16 this year. She had been asking for years to have her room updated. As I looked at the childhood remnants of her bedroom, I knew she needed something that fit her age group. The blue walls, the ceiling lined with color changing LED lights, and the sheets wit...

My daughter Maggie loves pumpkin spice and everything nice..... so when she surprised me with eggs, bacon, a pumpkin-cream muffin, and a pumpkin spiced latte on the morning of August 30, 2023, I just smiled. It was sooooo sweet of her to do that for me. She's an amazing cook!

Celebrating one of our favorite desserts that just happens to have its own National day!!

Mother's day is special to us at The Working Mom for a few reasons. First of all, it is a celebration of us...me, Lisa and all of the moms out there we know and those we don't know. We hope to connect with many more working moms over the next several months and years as we continue to work on buildi...

Ok, we all have stuff in our medicine cabinets that need purging. Everything from expired antacids that have crusted up the edges of the screw cap to the antibiotic you only half completed 25 years ago when you got your wisdom teeth out. The time for spring cleaning has arrived and you guessed it: t...

Who knew garlic had its own day! April 19th!

When your bestie from college has a deep southern Louisiana connection, you are destined to experience these amazing mini lobsters called crawfish (or mud bugs as the locals refer to them as). I have roots close to the Cheasapeake Bay. I grew up casting the crab traps off of my grandmom...

Happy April 16th!!!

Now you can celebrate National Wear Your PJs to Work Day with National Eggs Benedict Day! 

If you work remotely, then you can do both and enjoy breakfast in bed! :) 

Get your fa...

Every Year I ask myself the same question, "What the heck do I do with ALL of these leftover decorated hard-boiled Easter eggs?"  Even though this kiddo in the picture below is 15 years old now, we STILL enjoy the creativity of dying Easter eggs every year.

We LOVE our fur-babies! 

The Working Mom wanted to take a minute to honor the ones in our lives that steal our hearts and love us unconditionally! 

Happy National Pet Day!

Burn out...a term I seem to hear a lot these days. I have been in healthcare for over 20 years, and there has been a significant change in the field during that time. It can be very difficult to deal with burn out at work and not let it affect your home life.  We have discussed the...
