Back to school is around the corner for many of us.
At the beginning of the summer, since I don’t have a summer break like my husband and kids, I spend a lot of time grousing about having to keep my routine while they don’t.
However, later in the summer, while I’m caught up in my regular […]
I’ve been sick for several days, some sort of asthma or allergy attack.
It’s kept me out of work for a few days, but even more frustrating to me is that it’s kept me from doing much of anything at home.
I’m behind in both arenas, yet I can’t do much about either. I’ve been home […]
If you have young children, it might be hard to imagine that one day they will be going to someone’s house to play, and you might not know the parents all that well.
For example, I was fortunate that my older kids’ friends were also the children of my friends, so I knew the parents well. […]
If any profession ranks up there with being difficult to achieve a work-life fit, it’s medicine.
Last week at BlogHer, I briefly spoke with a lovely lady whose site is called Mothers in Medicine.
It’s a multi-author blog with lots of different perspectives from physician-mothers.
Definitely worth your time.

Women leaving the workforce: it’s not just for parenting anymore.
For the first time since the beginning of the women’s movement, there are fewer women in the workforce due to the economy:

Choose your friends carefully when you are a working parent.
Nearly all my friends are either teachers or they don’t work outside the home.
They are all leaving the kids with dad and going on a fun overnight trip this week, and I can’t go because I really, really have to work.
I should probably exchange […]
I don’t work for Land’s End clothing or anything (just a fan), and I don’t get anything for it, but I thought you might enjoy the Land’s End Free Shipping Code on my personal website, Busymom.net.
It might be a good time to stock up on a few things for Back to School.
I don’t know about […]
The state of the economy is affecting the work lunch.
More people are brown-bagging it these days. Sure, bringing your own food has always been more economic and often healthier, but if you’re anything like me, by the time you get the kids’ lunches made and things ready for the next day, the last thing […]
There’s a great post by Dr. Mary over at Work It, Mom! on The Myth of Balance, and one idea stuck with me:
Accepting that sometimes one thing has to get a bit more attention that another is yet another way that working moms can nourish and support themselves; it reduces “supermom” syndrome instantly.

Erin of Unclutterer fame tried a novel approach to work-life balance one weekend:
On July 3, I decided that I was going to take a break from my laptop and from work for the three-day holiday weekend. Unfortunately, I had a few small tasks I needed to do over the weekend, so I knew I couldn’t […]
