Mom Friendly Companies

Lactation Nation, cont. plus a giveaway

January 17, 2010

Back about 8 weeks ago, I was singing my own praises about my abundant milk supply and breastfeeding prowess. Now, I’m just a regular-old nursing pro.  But while I have mastered the hooter-hider, (I highly recommend the Bebe Au Lait ones, and I’m not being paid to say that.) I have not mastered the attractive or comfortable [...]

Miracle on Ice

February 1, 2009

I always thought Disney on Ice was just for girls.  Twinkling lights, skating princesses, fairy dust.  Please.  But when I was offered tickets to the troupe’s show in Chicago from the lovely folks at Feld Entertainment, I just couldn’t say no.  Princesses and all. So we invited a little girl friend of my son’s and checked [...]

The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom – Is it reality?

March 4, 2008

I just finished watching the premiere episode of TLC’s new show, “The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom,” and I have to be honest – I liked it way more than I thought I would.  I knew plenty about the show after talking to the host, Tracey Gold, yesterday, but typically I don’t let my DVR record things [...]

Half of what I do every week

October 28, 2007

I think my last post was a bit of a bust (why does no one else get that joke!?), so for right now I’m going to stick with the basics. First, I thought I’d tell you exactly what I do for work.  Hell, one of you actually asked me, so that warrants at least some [...]

What I’d really like to see on the Working Mother 100 Best Companies List

September 26, 2007

I can’t stay away from the blog for long. Not when Working Mother magazine comes out with their 100 Best Companies List and I miss posting about it by one day.  I HAVE to make my second (or is it third?) re-entry during a week when something actually newsworthy comes out about us working moms. (Isn’t [...]

Offices are overrated

August 14, 2007

Did I mention that I’m working “remotely” this entire week? Like, really remotely.  Like, so remote that when I ran out of facial moisturizer yesterday and went to the local grocery store to buy some more they didn’t have my favorite Aveeno one.  My nanny had to go out of town (again!) and since I really have [...]

Part-time lover

July 12, 2007

Did I ever mention that I love working part-time? (And that I’m lucky enough to be able to do it?) Well, if I didn’t, I will say it again.  And, in case you haven’t heard yet, today’s top working mom news story (that couldn’t possibly have taken anyone by surprise) is that the “majority of working [...]

“Knocked Up” knocks around stereotypes

June 11, 2007

In the movie, “Knocked Up” (which I saw over the weekend) the main character, a woman in her early twenties, happens to get pregnant accidentally. (Warning, plot spoiler ahead.)  She’s also very career-focused, saying she didn’t envision having a baby “for another 10 years.” (I’ll save that for another blog topic.)  In fact, when she was eight [...]

Straight from the “on ramping” guru’s mouth

June 4, 2007

I’ve blogged and commented a lot recently on the slew of material out there that discusses women getting back on the career track after taking time off to stay at home with their children. Usually these voices are on high, and well, as a mere blogger, I’m down low, and so rarely would we have a [...]

Time’s not a wastin’ when you’re a working mom

May 31, 2007

Lisa Belkin (I feel like I keep quoting her) in today’s New York Times brings up an interesting point about working: can wasting time actually be productive?  She says: Over the years I have come to see that the hours away from the writing are the time when the real work gets done. When a paragraph turns itself [...]
