If you read my last post, you will see that I listed out the ways that I found work for me as a working mother – Juggling Work and Family. What I did not explain was why I wrote my last post. Although it was a challenge from dear husband to list the ways I [...]
“How do you manage?” I get asked that question a lot. My cheeky answer is always,”I don’t. I struggle.” While that gets lots of laughs and knowing grins, working mothers do REALLY want to know how to manage better. After much trial and error, I finally have a method to all the madness, juggling a [...]
Okay, last day of the year…last ditch effort to fulfill 2009 resolutions. Time to also make the 2010 ones. Two days ago, I initiated a family resolutions making session.
