The Work It, Mom! Blog

with Nataly

Before I tell you why I don't think I am a natural at being a mom let me tell you about something I think I AM a natural at: Writing. I've always been drawn to it, I've always loved doing it, and it's something that comes easily to me. (Now,...

Full Time, All the Time

with Karen and Robyn

When I returned to the practice of law a little over a year ago, it was admittedly with some reluctance:  at the time,  I was working from home for a large Fortune 200 corporation, helping manage several of the online publications.  I wasn't...

Single Mom at Work

with Kristin Darguzas

At this time of year, every year since I was 22, I write out my goals. I choose mid October because it's a calm before the holidays, and feels less forced than easily doffed New Years Resolutions. Unlike everything else I write, I do this...

Working (On) Motherhood

with Leah

Managers have already started taking projects away from me, coworkers are asking to be taught parts of my job, and although it's been a month since I moved into my new office, I still haven't unboxed any personal items because, before I know...

Committed: The Ties that Bond

with Angella

Back when I was single and pining for a husband (I'm kidding)(Sort of), I had a few girlfriends who were married.  They would regale me with funny/horror stories about the first year of marriage.  Two different friends recommended a book that...

The 36-Hour Day

with Lylah M. Alphonse

Need to get the kids out the door in a flash? Studies show that kids do better in school if they've had a good breakfast (and, of course, the same goes for grownups and work), but you don't have to waste money on protein shakes, fast-food egg...

Moms On Issues

with Sara and Veronica

Milk and Cookies

with Linda and Kristen

It is pouring rain as I type this, and I have two 3-year-olds to entertain indoors. Hee. Do you like how I'm implying that if it weren't for the rain we'd be out in the healthful fresh air? Even if it weren't pouring rain, I'd still have...

Entrepreneur Mom

with Aliza Sherman

Why does it seem like switching banks is as hard - or harder - than switching health practitioners? Sometimes, we seem to have an irrational loyalty to others who are supposed to be in the business of helping us even when they are doing more...

Ordering Disorder

with Chris Jordan

My children love to cook. I am a firm believer in self-sufficiency and therefore I encourage them to hone their cooking skills whenever possible. The fact that it gets me off of meal preparation has nothing to do with it. Really. Ahem. My...

Cornered Office

with Mir Kamin

Mommy Needs a Business

with Kristen

Today is commercial day. But it isn't political, so you can breathe easy. Every once in a while someone will contact me about sending me something free to review. I like it when it's something fun (like a car) or something that I...

Work It, Dad!

with Avi Spivack

And now for a few questions... Were you listening, watching, and freaking when this happened? Does this news make you nervous and unsettled? Are you just as anxious as I am about the fact that our country is on its way down and no...
