Men, Waffles and Work-Life Balance?

life

This weekend, a good friend of mine mentioned a book she recently read (or heard about) called Men Are Like Waffles – Women Are Like Spaghetti. The idea is that the brain of a man works much like a waffle in that it has divisions and separate containers for each thought. On the other hand, [...]

No Mammograms Before 50? Really?

Women

Last week a government task force said that the majority of women don’t need mammograms until the age of 50. On top of that, they also said that breast self-exams are unnecessary. Since then, I’ve been thinking about this over and over. I just can’t wrap my head around it. Don’t we hear about many [...]

Fresh Starts and Feeling Fresh

Women

Fresh start. It means something different to everybody. Some people get a second chance at life. Some survive a divorce. Others simply make a conscious effort to get rid of all the excess baggage they’re carrying. For me, at this point in time, a fresh start would be a career change. Or more so, a [...]

Would you Hire a Maid?

life

I saw a maid at the neighbor’s house earlier this week. It made me think… Would I ever hire a maid to help out around the house? Even if it was just once a month? I’ve spoken before about the high expectations I’ve set for myself. Would hiring a maid bring shame to my housekeeping [...]

Working Mothers – A Delicate Balance

Motherhood

It’s Wednesday! What a hectic week so far. Work is super busy. Of course, the home life is always hectic. I find that more often than not, I have an inner battle going on. Part of me knows that I can’t possibly keep up with everything – home, work, husband, daughter, myself, parents, etc. Yet, [...]

New Resource for Working From Home

Sahm

I found a new site that looks to be pretty promising. eMomsAtHome is both a great resource and blog for motivation, networking, and work at home ideas. There’s a lot of content on both the main site and the blog and I’m just starting to peruse it, but I think you’ll find some useful information. [...]
