Earlier this month I mentioned that one of my goals was to develop and follow a daily schedule. I never had a daily plan when I was working. The plan was: get the kids to childcare/school, go to work, come home and try to get as much shit done before passing out from exhaustion. Lather, […]
Happy New Year 2018!
Happy new year everyone! I know, I’m pretty late, but I don’t know about you, but my holidays and new year have been crazy! We have had bone chilling temps here and a blizzard. Happy 2018! I hope this isn’t a sign of what the weather will be like for the rest of winter. […]
The Best Travel Mug
Every working parent knows that coffee (or tea) on the go is imperative. I need my coffee before I leave the house. I never was that interested in adding a stop to buy coffee into my morning routine – I wanted to be fully caffeinated before arriving at work! Traveling with a hot beverage is […]
Becoming a Housewife – The Choices We Make
I’m scrubbing my counter – one of those jobs that only I do. I’m not exaggerating this time, no one else in my family ever wipes the counters, even if they spill. Anyway, as I scrub away, my mind wanders, as it tends to do when I’m cleaning, to my job search. I’m struck with […]

I tend to concentrate on main dishes her on WM23, especially ones that you can make quickly. But, since football season has begun, and the […]
Update on Technology – The Family Calendar
When I started this blog, I wanted to share some ideas on how technology can help the working parent. Since I published my blog on the electronic calendar, I have been able to use the products much more regularly, so I wanted to give an update. When I published my first article, I was skeptical […]
The Pick Up Clutter Work Out
You know that funny email from the mom who described trying to get something done, but she goes from thing to thing and never getting anything done for the day? Have you ever had a day like that? I have. Most of my advice here is about trying to get stuff done in the most […]
Pesto!
Pesto! You may remember that on my meal plan for week one I have a slot for “pasta and sauce” – this is one of the areas where I can get a little creative and allows for many combinations – ravioli and pesto, pasta puttanesca, marinara and spaghetti, etc. You get the idea. So far, I’ve shared […]
