Cornered Office
with Mir Kamin
Do you know the Shel Silverstein poem that starts out "'I cannot go to school today,' / said little Peggy Ann McKay?" Peggy Ann McKay lives at my house---my daughter can do a dying swan impersonation like nobody's business. If she comes to...
The Work It, Mom! Blog
with Nataly
I make fun of my husband because on some days it takes him longer to do his hair than it takes me to work in some gel into mine. My morning get-ready routine is optimized to be as efficient as possible and in total takes about 15 minutes,...
Full Time, All the Time
with Karen and Robyn
Lately, I've been doing a lot of traveling. A LOT of traveling. While my most recent trip away was a 3-day getaway with some girlfriends, most of my travel has been work- or career-related.
Luckily, I'm married to a man who is a really...
Ordering Disorder
with Chris Jordan
Can you have too many quick and easy pasta recipes?
The answer is no, you can not. And you know what else... this recipe has no meat. Just for you Kristin. I love simple recipes like this that take advantage of the produce that is in season.

Catch Your Breath
with Karen M & Karen R
I moved recently, and I've been hitting up Craigslist, Freecycle, and other groups both to download stuff at my old place and to upload new stuff at the new. From all these interactions, which have ranged from good to bad to downright ugly,...
Mommy Needs a Business
with Kristen
Oh, who am I kidding?
You know this post is about how I'm putting off until tomorrow what I could have gotten done today. Or what I should have done two weeks ago. I blame it all on my lack of design skills. I had postcards to create...
The Working Closet
with Sarah
With Fall rapidly approaching, we'll be breaking out the layers in no time. Believe you me, an effective use of layers can take an otherwise bland outfit to new heights of fashionista territory.
Lucky magazine recently included a layering...
Moms On Issues
with Sara and Veronica
I read the line about five times before it sunk in...Dads & Daughters, an innovative and I daresay feminist national organization that focuses on the Father-Daughter relationship was closing.
I've known of Dads & Daughters since...
Milk and Cookies
with Linda and Kristen
I have a little chunk of money that's all mine to spend on something frivolous. When this happens (oh, practically EVERY DAY), I like to consider choosing a new expensive perfume. Perfume is a good value for me: every time I use it, I feel...
Entrepreneur Mom
with Aliza Sherman
When you've got the right tools for your business, things just seem to run smoothly. Then you begin to take for granted all the great software programs and applications that you use on a daily basis to simply get the job done.
Let me take...
The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse
I'm always going on and on about how much I hate it when people advise me to sleep when the baby sleeps or just go to bed earlier. But, rather than write yet another rant about it, I thought I'd do a little research and find five tips for boosting...
Work It, Dad!
with Avi Spivack
So my wife's fourteen-wanna-be-eighteen-year-old cousin came to visit this past week from Florida. As an older guy who is not his own father, he does idolize me a tad, largely because I can play basketball with him. I have known him since he...
Single Mom at Work
with Kristin Darguzas
The inside of my home is brown and white, silver frames and a lot of straight lines. I'm not one for doodads and clutter, other than the necessary remnants of the playtime of a 3-year-old.
My fridge is the exception: it's littered with...
