Do we as working moms have the same opportunities as males in the work force or even as females who don't have kids? I guess it depends on who you ask. Many employers have concerns about women with children or even women without children who will likely decide to have them in the future. There are c...

When we have multiple children, especially of the same sex, I think the natural tendency is to assume they will have similar interests, and hopefully to you as well. Of course we often try to foster this by introducing them to things we like, be it sports, hobbies or other activities. We also hope t...

It has been quite a while since we have posted on the blog, but I am happy to say we are back at it, and we have some exciting plans for the next few months. We are hoping 2022 can be a great year despite the rocky start with the ongoing challenges we face as moms and just as people sti...

We all want to do the best we can when we become a parent, but I  think the perfect working mom is a very lofty goal. In fact, I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect parent at all. I am not even sure how you would define this. One might say you have to do everything right to be consid...

Is there a right way? Is there a wrong way? Where does my way fit in? As a parent, specifically a working mom, these questions may be asked on a daily basis. You may ask them of yourself or to others. You may look to those who have been where you are and see if you can learn from their experiences. ...

Okay... so this is not  Wine Wednesday, but never fear, Lisa will still be blogging about wine and food and other topics as part of "Lisa's Lessons", a new category along with...you guessed it, "Adrienne's Advice". We will each do an entry once a week and try to continue to ...

I'm pretty sure the way to my heart is through a perfect pot roast and a glass of red wine. My mom used to make the BEST pot roast. I have funny memories of us going to the Rain Forest Café and her ordering their "Paradise Pot Roast" (she was a sucker for this meal too). There...

For this little trip down memory lane, just a couple of photos of my girls with amazing face paint. For as long as I can remember, whenever we went somewhere this was offered, they loved to have it done. Whether we went to the zoo, and amusement park, or our beloved Disney World, we would always sea...

Monday...a day like any other, although for many it is the start of the work or school week and therefore a day which often has a negative connotation. It can also be a fresh start kind of day as a new week begins. It all depends on your mindset. This can be true of any day. It's a part of life to h...

Dinner and a movie...perhaps the most classic fun Friday night there is, and of course another thing which has been limited over the past year. We are lucky to have the luxury of watching many new and recent movies in the comfort of our own homes with all the streaming that is available, but let's n...

Throwback to three years ago...I did something I could have never imagined even a year before that. I competed in my first ballroom dance competition. It was April of 2018, and I had just started taking lessons with my teacher Roberto at the end of January, 2018. I definitely went way o...

So here we are..."the Working Moms" just a couple of hours ago celebrating the end of a busy week. What better for a fun Friday idea, than drinks with a good friend after a long work day. I finished up in the OR and then stopped by Lisa's place which is just 10 minutes from wh...

As I approach a big milestone birthday next month, I decided to share a few photos from way back. Here is this working mom in pre-school, then high school and then at my medical school graduation. Fast forward a few years to a couple of photos of me with my little ones and finally a rec...

I could not agree more with every word in the above image, so for this motivation Monday post, I would like to focus on this concept. It can be so easy to give up on something after a very short time if you don't see results quickly or face too many obstacles or challenges along the way. This can ap...

Just a quick throwback to a few favorite baby photos of my now adult daughters. So hard to believe that these photos are from 18-20 years ago! A cute toddler sisters photo rounds out the collection. Hard to even remember what it was like to hold these babies, but so thrilled to now be the mom of two...

Making plans...we all do it. How can you not? Especially as a working mom, planning out the day, week or even the month can be so critical in trying to maintain sanity and be sure things get done. This can be anything from simple daily tasks to special events. But what do we do when things don't go ...

Welcome to Thankful Thursday...As we look back over this past year, I think it can be difficult to find things we are thankful for. Immediate thoughts come to mind about how much we lost or missed out on when the world as we knew it seemingly disappeared. We had to learn how to live in a world we co...

March 8...Happy International Women's Day! This is a day to celebrate and recognize all women across the globe and their accomplishments. The scope of what women can do is limitless and this day should be especially motivating and inspirational to working moms everywhere.

This day began in 1911 and r...

A night out with great food, people, music and dancing can be so much fun. When it is also a fundraiser for a great cause it becomes a charity gala, and it can be a very special night. A dear friend I work with has been involved in organizing an incredible event for the past 7 years in support of Sp...

There can be a fine line between motivating our kids and pushing them when it comes to sports or any activity. I think it's incredibly important to support our kids and encourage their interests. If it's a sport, then I think we need to find the balance between fun and burnout.  Every child who...
