We’re well into our summer here in Atlanta and with that has been the challenge of keeping the kids stimulated, busy and happy. With two active boys, it can be quite difficult to walk the line between two kids playing peacefully together and all hell breaking lose when one oversteps the unclear boundaries, knocks overContinue reading “Brothers”

I have a confession to make. Today, I am shopping for flats. *GASP* Actually, shopping for flats isn’t itself an inherently shocking thing for me. After all, what do you think I wear to the playground, grocery store, play date, school function? But today, I am shopping for flats to wear to work. Specifically, anContinue reading “Confessions”

Wednesday is the last day of school. The last few weeks have been filled with field days and muffins for moms and class picnics and in-class activities and after school activities and teacher appreciation and  theme days and just about more than I can handle on top of our regular life. At the little guy’sContinue reading “Second Guesses”

Currently reading “Lean In” and have lots to think about on the subject of the current status of women in the workplace, but came across this article and needed to share it. I actually started to simply post the article with a brief comment on the blog’s Facebook page, but quickly saw the paragraphs addingContinue reading “Working Mothers Rant”

When I started this part time working gig, a friend told me to be where my feet are. I love this. So true. So simple. And yet, I have a devil of a time living by it. For some reason, when I’m at work, I always remember the camp forms I need to fill outContinue reading “Presence”

Since last week, I’ve been mulling over what I want to say about the recent memo coming out of Yahoo! requiring all workers report to campus, eliminating their work from home stance. I admittedly do not have an MBA nor do I particularly have a mind for “management.” I am a communicator. I am anContinue reading “Flexing”

I’m so used to living my life looking from the inside out. Wishing I had more time, more control, more space, more energy, more patience. Thinking I’m being judged for the whiny preschooler, ornery six year old, bad hair day, inability to remember simple tasks and deadlines. Motherhood and family life have many of us soContinue reading “From the Outside In”

I joked this morning on Facebook about how vulnerable I felt having left my phone at home. Keep in mind, I would be back at home by 12:15 and connected once again. I blissfully squirreled myself into an office and, uninterrupted, completed a work task that has been haunting me for a week, just beggingContinue reading “Connecticut”

The six year old lost his first tooth today. And we’re both a little bummed. The thing had been hanging on by a thread for several days. Last night, the hubby and I tried, in vain, to pull it for him. But our little guy was a little freaked out by the whole thing andContinue reading “Tooth Fairy IOU”

Back in 2008, after a crazy, week-long road trip with the two year old, I felt the need for perspective and embarked on a month-long journey of being thankful. I titled it 30 Days of Thanks. The following year, our second child was born and a friend took up the task. I tackled it againContinue reading “30 Days of Thanks”
