Business Attire for the Working Mom

The one thing about being a working mother is - no matter how hard you try to leave the house without some bit of something on your clothing, you can't.

It must be some weird physics thing - there's like a vortex or something from the moment you put on new clean clothes.  

Oh - you can think you've left the house without a spot.  You can look yourself up and down and inspect...but the moment you get into work, there will always be that one guy who looks at you and says..."Did you know you have a little something right there?"

6 Steps to Make More Time for Blogging

I'll admit it...mothering three kids and holding down a full time job and keeping up a blog is a bit more of a struggle then I'd anticipated.  My blog is suffering.  I've still got great ideas - but I have a new director who is offering me new opportunities (yes...that's what I'm going to call them...she's not an passive aggressive bitch who appears to need to show me the size of her cahones...this is an opportunity for me to grow).

Whoops...sorry...I digressed there a bit...

So I'm determined to make more time in my day so I can fit in job, kids and blogging.

Back to Work - A New Chapter Begins

Well...it's been a nice run.  I've been very lucky to have a kind employer who was willing to allow me over one year unpaid leave after the birth of my third child.  Two summers home with my kids.  For the first time ever, a whole year to wait at the bus stop for the kids to come home.  A fantastic vacation with hubs and Bae to Holland.  Walks to the park.  And the opportunity to pursue my own new favorite hobby - blogging.

It's very rare in the good ol' USA to have such an understanding and forward thinking employer (who, being an anonymous blogger, I can't name, and who don't know about my blog anyway...).  I can tell you it's not Hobby Lobby.
