The pregnancy test reads positive and we all, or at least most, jump for joy with excitement and anticipation of the journey we are about to embark upon until we are reminded of… Maternity Leave.
The appropriate time to share your pregnancy with your employer varies depending on your situation and your personal preference. I had been working at a small office for about for years and considered my coworkers to be friends so I shared the news right away. However, when the time came to…

Many times I find myself wondering... Why do other women seem to love their husbands more than I love mine?
I read blogs on a daily basis and many mommy bloggers out there are going on and on about how wonderful their husbands are and how much they love them. And it makes me question our relationship.
I love my husband. And I know that he loves me. So how can we be more like that?
I've come up with a few theories that I have been putting to the test. Some of…

I know! I know! None of us want to even imagine that one day we might not be there for our children, however, that day will surely come. It is the cycle of life: we're born, we live, we die. But life is unpredictable and sometimes, not all people live to old age. The death of Michael Jackson and the custody battle that will surely follow have forced me to wonder, what would happen to my baby if thing happened to me?
I am so preoccupied with making sure that we have health insurance,…

As Wannabe WAHM, I have been doing a lot of reading and research.

I just finished reading
"Making Work at Home Work" by Mary M. Byers. Although the book is really meant for moms that have already established an at home business I found it to be extremely helpful as I prepare to launch my own.
A quick read, I finished this book in about 1 week, the book is divided into 2 sections: saving your sanity and making a profit. Feel free…

Starting you own business might not be every working mom's dream but I am certain that it is an aspiration for many. The thought of a shorter commute, more time with the kids and not having to deal with an insensitive and pestering boss are one of the many perks that come to mind.
So, what does it take to start your own business? I am the farthest thing from an expert on the subject, I am in the process of starting my own business…

I was invited my a friend to the launch of her very own jewelry line this past Saturday. I was thrilled at the prospect of getting out of the house, seeing her after so many years and supporting her with her new endeavor as a WAHM.
Saturday came, my hubby was all set to take care of her that evening, I washed my hair and then, good old, reliable
SELF SABOTAGE kicked in. I found myself looking for an excuse not to go! I always complain about how lonely I am and about how I…

I have a wonderful older woman who takes care of Sophia when I am @ work and neither my mother or my husband can do it. She give me peace of mind. I can go off to work and do not even have to worry about calling because I know she is well taken care of. In the mornings Sophia just waves goodbye @ the door like I am just going to take the trash out!
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ATTACHMENT THING I READ SO MUCH ABOUT???
Last week, Tia Maria (Aunt Maria), as we call her, gives me the…
