Single Mom at Work

Ordering Disorder
with Chris Jordan

The Work It, Mom! Blog

Milk and Cookies
with Linda and Kristen
So, it turns out an 8-month-baby is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ENTITY than, say, a newborn. In many ways they are a vast improvement on their squashed, red-faced little counterparts, but unlike a newborn, an 8-month-old does not sleep all day. Nor...

Cornered Office
with Mir Kamin
When I was growing up, my dad was something of a workaholic. That's not to say that he wasn't around for stuff---he was---but he went to work early and worked all day and often went back to work again in the evenings or on the weekend. Even...
Full Time, All the Time
with Karen and Robyn
Last week, right about the same time the first commenter was leaving her comment on my previous post , I walked into the office of my boss, and turned in my written resignation.
The truth is, he knew it was coming. I'd warned him it was...
Committed: The Ties that Bond

Catch Your Breath
with Karen M & Karen R
I had a photoshoot this weekend with a professional photographer (because, you know, I'm fancy like that), and she gave me a piece of advice that resulted in awesome photographs.

The 36-Hour Day
with Lylah M. Alphonse

Work It, Dad!
with Avi Spivack
Guess who's the disciplinarian in the family, Brad or Angelina? That's right, it's mommy. Are you surprised that it's the woman in the house? I'm not.

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...
