The end of my morning routine as I know it

November 28, 2006

My days of being a fashionable working mom may be over soon.  Why, you ask? I can only answer it with one word: mobility.  Yes, my son’s days of being immobile are coming to a screeching halt.  To some, this may be a welcome sign that your baby is moving up in the world.  To me, it raises [...]

Death to the diaper bag

November 21, 2006

One of the things I love about going to work is the fact that I don’t have to wear my diaper bag.  I get to wear a big-girl-all-grown-up-regular purse instead.  When I was pregnant of course, choosing a good diaper bag was a highlight.  Some of my friends went the Gucci route (way too expensive) while [...]

Bad hair moment

November 14, 2006

You can’t be a new mom, working or not working, with 1 kid or 11, without having had a bad hair day.  Hair is the one element of a mom’s appearance that’s most often made fun of (I’m still trying to forget Carol Brady’s mullet) but can make the most difference in how you look on a [...]

Put your best foot forward

November 3, 2006

Moms of the world: You are only as fashionable as your worst pair of socks.  I’m serious.  This occurred to me the other day when I hung out with my very fashionable MF (she’s not N).  She showed up to my house in heels and a cute coat.  She looked great.  As custom insists, she [...]
