So, it's Christmas Day, one of my favorite days in all the year. Baby is sleeping, and Daddy is playing video games with his brothers and possibly eating and definitely participating in the making of GIFs to tease said brothers. I am playing with my new and extravagant and totally unexpected toy, a new computer, which ...
How Working Motherhood is A Lot Like Summer
Never have I ever felt like Summer came and went without my notice. I did see fireworks, and I did go to NYC for a hot-and-humid minute, but I feel like this Summer was just so much hard work that I never got that Summer lovin' feelin' that I usually have. But when I really ...
Hello, Goodbye: July! — Working Moms Take Vacation
Well. July was a doozy! I mean, who would've ever guess that the Bachelorette would end that way??!?! JK. Everyone guessed. But really, there was so much life lived in July, I can hardly believe that it's over, and that it all happened in one month. One of my favorite holidays happened. DC Fireworks are the best! Ready for ...
Five Months Old
Today my baby buddy turns 5 months old. He's saucy! He's started rolling over, but doesn't like to do it when people are watching. It's still pretty difficult for him, and accidental rather than intentional or an automatic reaction to being set on his tummy. He loves to read books. His favorite book right now is a ...
This Working Mom Needs a Routine

One Career Mom Refusing to Have It All: Kyle Dyer
I saw this video on Facebook, and it was both surprising and refreshing. I am impressed that Kyle is stepping away from a high-profile seat on the morning news, one that's she held for years -- almost 2 decades! She didn't quit entirely, but she accepted the opportunity to rearrange her schedule so she be there for ...
The Boy Who Made Me a Career Mom
He made me a mommy. I work for him. Sticky, syrupy, candy-striped sweetness!
No Mommy Wars
I am a bit new to the whole "mom" thing, but within the past year I've witnessed a bit of bloodshed here and there between mommies. There's been some controversy over the whole nourishment issue. There's been disagreement about the way to characterize stay-at-home versus career moms. The latest fad is to get scrappy over ...
About Working Moms Weekly
Basically, the story started 13 months ago when I found out I was expecting a baby, and my existential crisis began: What did it mean to be a good mom, and how was it possible to be a good working mom. Let me not imply I have this all figured out yet. I'm here because stuff gets ...
