The scoop on what to do while in Chicago for BlogHer

July 16, 2007

Considering I live in the host city of the 2007 BlogHer conference, and I blog with many fine Chicago mommies, I thought it was my duty to share with all visitors some things to see or do in the city outside of meeting our favorite bloggers and partying it up. I even recruited a few friends to help expand [...]

D Day

June 25, 2007

I knew this day was coming.  The day my partner-in-working-mom-crime would quit her job. And it happened today. Last year at this time we were planning our work schedules together, my comrade in working motherhood, my amigo in work-life balance.  She was one of the few I could joke with about working on our days off [...]

Dumped by a single friend?

June 10, 2007

I think I got dumped by a single friend of mine.  She’s a close friend from college who I haven’t talked to recently (ok, it’s been like 3 months.)  We have very different schedules, and well, I’m not that great at keeping in touch. (I admit it.)  But when major social events occur, a party [...]

“Lunch and learns” – working mom style

May 1, 2007

I haven’t really ventured into luncheon-land since I’ve been back to work.  For the past 8 months (20 if you count when I was pregnant), I’ve avoided the “lunch and learn.” You know, those two-hour-long guest speaker PowerPoint snore-fests at fancy restaurants where you have to eat family style Italian and make small “business” talk with the person next [...]

Saturday morning pick-me-up

April 28, 2007

I really wasn’t looking cute this morning when I decided to go for a walk around my neighborhood. I hadn’t washed my hair since Thursday morning, and the only outfit I could muster up early  were some old workout leggings and an adidas sweatshirt.  But the weather was nice so I figured it was a good [...]

The Chicago mail system is ruining my friendships

April 28, 2007

Dear Chicago mail system, You don’t have a great track record with delivering mail in a timely manner, and some of my friends have noticed that you’ve actually skipped their houses every once in awhile.  You bad boy, you! (You’re definitely a guy. Guys always forget to do things.) I know you’re probably trying to work out the [...]

I know Google and Google knows me

April 24, 2007

If you’ve even paid half-attention to my blog in the past two days, you’d know that I was at Google Chicago today to sit on a “tech savvy mom panel” at event called “Mothers Know Tech.”  By the end of the very well-coordinated afternoon, I felt like I knew everything there was to know about mommy online behavior.  The trade [...]
