Don’t Make Your Issue an Issue

Career, Motherhood, Musings

I had a total “working mom on the verge” moment yesterday. I was plowing through work before I unplugged for a live meeting (meaning I had to be showered and dressed professionally, no hiding behind the laptop!) when the babysitter messaged me saying she had a family emergency and couldn’t come. Working mom guilt kicked in… The little … Read More

As I walked into the front door and took my first whiff of the baked goods and caffeinated happiness I was about to put in my hungry face, I was finishing an internal conversation that sounded something like this: “I don’t have time for this” “I should be using this time … Read More

The Big Power of a Little Break

Family, Inspiration, Musings

Last night after a long day of work, I was folding laundry with my daughter. I was tired and grouchy and was snippy.

As a woman who always has something to say, not be able to blog felt really out of character for me (especially because I blog for dozens of clients daily!).

I’m getting a hard-off

Being a business owner, mom and wife is not always easy.
