Remember me talking about “balance” earlier in the week? Well I have a question for you:
How do you balance personal calls, filling prescriptions, making appointments, etc., in with your work life?
I’m thinking of all this because of what happened with my schedule yesterday. I’m in the writing zone for no more than fifteen minutes, when […]
I’m Cherie, and I’ll be joining Elizabeth in writing Career and Kids. I’ve been eagerly reading Elizabeth’s great work here because I am obsessed with the subject of balancing career with children. I’ll tell you why in a minute.

The beauty of being a parent is that you don’t have to put a lot of energy into thinking of how to call in to work, since, there’s just not that many different ways to say “sick child”.
I used to be in management, and, I’ve pretty much heard that and all the excuses for missing […]
Via the Parenting in the Workplace Institute, I ran across a list of baby-friendly workplaces.
I’ve never seen babies in the workplace in action, so, I don’t know how it works, but, I’m not sure I could have done that. I wonder if I’d feel like I was giving neither my baby nor my job my […]
