Maternity clothes redux

October 17, 2008

Wondering where I’ve been the last two weeks? Unpacking my maternity clothes. I’m kidding, but seriously, I forgot how many ugly maternity clothes I have. I must have been deluded by all the progesterone scurrying through my body of late, but early on in this pregnancy I actually got excited to see my maternity clothes again.  I [...]

The things I’ve learned about raising a boy

January 21, 2008

Congratulations to Julie, who’s  having her third child, a boy, very soon! In preparation for her big day, some of her friends are hosting a virtual shower to celebrate the new arrival.  And they have asked us on the blogosphere who have little boys to give her some advice on what it’s like to rear [...]

Back to work

July 24, 2007

That title get you? Did you actually think I meant that I was going to start working instead of blogging? Ha! No seriously.  I looked back at some of my recent posts and realized I’ve taken a bit of a vacation from writing about what really gets me going – the ups and downs of working motherhood (with a bit [...]

“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 [...]

Pregnancy chasers

March 12, 2007

When I think back to “the good old” days of my pre-pregnancy (even pre-married) self, I think about my no nonsense career attitude, my ability to make plans at a moment’s notice and having no excuse for being late or being brain-dead (you get the drift.)  Fast forward to the present and you’re more likely to find that [...]

Flirting with disaster

February 21, 2007

According to an article in Sunday’s New York Times, “flirting at work is flirting with trouble.”  That may be true, I guess (although I beg you to find one person who hasn’t dated somebody they work with or at least wanted to date at some point in their career.)  But the article’s topic made me think long and [...]

Signs you’re ready to tell your boss you’re pregnant

February 18, 2007

While reading the UrbanBaby Message Boards (one could really get addicted to such activity) this weekend, I came across a woman who was about 6 weeks pregnant and posted the question of when she should break the news to her boss.  This is definitely a gut-wrenching decision.  You don’t want to disclose your pregnancy too soon [...]

I didn’t think I could love Nordstrom’s any more…

January 20, 2007

I’ve always been a big Nordstrom’s fan.  It has a great shoe department, is always cited as a great place to work AND has a fantastic return policy (good for an indecisive me).  Apparently, it picks its malls wisely too, as evidenced by my trip today: I guess ”stork” parking does exist after all.  How one proves they’re preggo on their car, though, [...]

A mobster in the making

January 12, 2007

I’ve never considered myself the “gangster” type (although I do look cute in a fedora hat). But after reading a recent article on MSNBC.com I’m wondering if I should change my blog’s name to the “Self-Made Mobster.” The article focuses on how having babies can alter a woman’s friendships. An excerpt: As lives evolve, so do priorities. Some [...]
