We're not newbies to parenting, or to juggling. Some of our concerns as working moms are a bit different from those of moms with babies and toddlers. Some of us are going back to work after being home while the kids were younger, and some of us never left. And while I'm pretty sure none of us can claim to have figured it all out, we may have learned some things from experience that we could share to help "newer" moms, as well as each other.
I am a mom on a journey. Life is good: happy healthy children. Great 10 year marriage that no one thought would last. Good career. Only problem is that I now need purpose and fulfillment in my life. Argh.
I am a working mom, and have been so for the past 3 years. Before that, I had been a SAHM for the previous 10 years of my life. I am very happy to be a part of the working community again, although I find it hard to juggle family
I'm almost 40 but feel 18. I love being with my kids and my high-school sweetheart husband. We laugh a lot and spend a lot of time together as a family while also each having individual pursuits which are supported by the rest of the "home team."
I'm a single mom with three children. I work full-time as an administrative assistant, and part-time blaphing (blogging/laughing) for a company that produces moral-based children's books and toys. I have many blessings and try to live every day to the fullest.
I am running a giveaway on my site that may be of interest to members of this group. ApplyWise, a leader in College Admission Counseling, is giving away one of their full online college admission coaching programs - a $299 value. To enter, you just need to comment by March 28, 2008. This is ideal for a high school junior or senior. My "older" child is only 12 but if he were older I would jump at a chance like this. If you know other moms with kids in the right age range please let them know about this opportunity.
Thanks!
