Via Char, I learned of a new TLC “reality” show called The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom.
The premise:
…each one-hour The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom broadcast will follow a different mother as she abandons a life normally guided by her children’s schedule to instead focus on career goals she previously gave up on. […]
I’m doing some housekeeping tasks around here, and, one of the things I need to do is update my blogroll.
If you have a blog or site and you write primarily about being a working parent, please leave a comment, and, I’ll add you to the links down there on the right.

I’m forever talking about getting dinner on the table as it ranks right up there as a potential major stressor for working parents whose children insist upon eating every night.
Imagine my happiness as Sister Sassy regales us with an episode of Dinner Time and the Working Mom where she shares her meal ideas.

My friend Jackson is experiencing the feelings of many parents who have to travel for work:
This morning I was dropping the kids off at school and my 2 year old just burst out in tears and wouldn’t let me go. He never does that. He doesn’t understand why I need to go out of town […]
Reader Leonard pointed out a website that I wasn’t familiar with, Qlubb.com.
Qlubb.com is a simple web-based group coordinator that has event calendaring, sign-up sheets, photo sharing, member rosters, task reminder service, and bulletin boards.

With young kids, I feel like I’m using mine up 4 hours at a time because someone is either sick, or, there’s something going on at school and I have to be […]

A couple of things I hadn’t considered that need to be addressed in a plan to work remotely from home: How will you resolve IT problems? What are you going to do […]
This has been one of those weeks where work’s been crazy, we’ve been out every evening (basketball tournament time), and, getting home well after we should have eaten dinner.
We’ve been good about eating at home rather than stopping at a drive-thru, but, since I’m not all that good at planning ahead, it’s getting harder […]
Amy at Milkbreath and Margaritas pens a great working mother’s ode to the room mother:
Thank you for organizing the class parties and offering to drive for the field trips. Thank you for all that you do to help the teacher throughout the year.
I’m not a room mother. I would get caught on a conference call […]
One way people handle balancing work and family is by working together.
