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!

I am thrilled to add the second entry to our 'interviews with working moms' category. I had the pleasure of lunch and a great conversation with the very impressive Maria McCool. She is the mom of three as well as the co-owner of award winning Calista Salon and Spa in West C...

We all remember when we were that age. No one wants to stand out and be different in a negative light, especially when you are a teenager. Here is the stepwise approach to managing this common dermatologic annoyance.

Firstly, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," as best stated...

Next week both of my daughters will be a plane ride away for the first time. If you follow this blog you know that my oldest is now a college graduate and my youngest is about to start her junior year.
