Sometimes I hate being a working mom. I love being a mom, I love working… but I hate balancing momming and working. Because no matter what, you lose.

Let’s do the math.

There are 24 hours in a day, yes? God, I hope you agree with that, at least.

Let’s assume you’re one of...

We all know establishing early reading habits is essential to setting kids up for success in pre-k and beyond, but encouraging healthy habits can oftentimes feel daunting. Especially at the end of a long work day...

We all know them, we all loathe them. The "toxic" coworker.

It's that person in the office who flips out if you ask him to do his job. Or that girl who can't stop gossiping about her boss.

I never thought growing up close to my kids' grandparents was going to happen. For a few years, we all lived on opposite ends of the country - us in Seattle, Brian's parents in Georgia, and my parents in New Jersey. The distance was tough, but we stayed in touch, as fa...
