Easing Back to Work After Maternity Leave




Deciding to go back to work after maternity leave can be downright nerve wracking. Some moms may decide to stay at home and others will decide to go back to work, either because, financially they don't have a choice, or they don't want to give up the career they spent the first part of their li...

35 million of us 

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.

Please Be Patient, Student Driver! 




We have all seen those bumper magnets on the back of cars. I always shake my head and quickly move away from those vehicles. Has anyone else seen those vehicles only to realize there is a single older person behind the wheel? They were either too lazy to remove the magnet, or they are just learning?...

Time is a weird thing.... sometimes we want it to speed up, and sometimes we want it to slow down. When we are young, busy, and stressed, we want time to move forward to easier moments in the future.... when we are older and the days seem to be flying by, we want time to slow down. Fables speak...

All Guilt Aside....
I’m so type-A. I had every detail planned, from my elective C-section, to everyone in the operating room picked out. From my anesthesiologist to the nurses, they were all my work family and I wouldn’t have done it any other way.....They were bringing my daughter into this world on March 5, 2008. But...
