Why I love working from home part 2…a slideshow essay

This is part two of the Why I Love Working from Home meme that began at my personal blog Musings from the Mitten after being tagged for it by Tishia Lee. The original meme was spurred on by Kelly McCausey’s post at sparkplugging (formerly elancemoms). And, it’s thanks to women like Kelly that are [...]

Woo! Shiny!

Earlier today, well, yesterday at this point, I decided to send a persuasive e-mail to the editors of alltops.com to see if we could get listed. And…
We are now listed in Alltop.com’s Women category.

What a week!

Vol. 1 Issue 3 is Live!

Technical glitches aside, the current issue of theWAHMmagazine—the Go Play! issue is live and fully functional.
Sometimes “stuff” happens, and one of the difficult decisions that has to be made is what to do when the forces of the tech world seem to conspire against you, even with ample planning. We had two choices: post the [...]

Sunshine On My Shoulders (Makes Me Whine)

It doesn’t get any easier. Making sure your kids get enough fresh air and exercise gets even more difficult the closer they get to cell phone dependency age. I have one son that’s hovering on the eve of high school graduation and one that’s floundering somewhere in the throes of “What shall I do [...]
