Mompreneur Interview with Mandy Carpenter

March 1, 2016 By: Leah Ballard1 Comment

I’m happy to introduce my second featured mompreneur. Before meeting Mandy, I had no idea what FBA stood for. Who knew it was a successful means of earning an income (harnessing the power of Amazon!) for some of the business women who really focus on it? Learn more about FBA and Mandy, below. Tell us […]

Having Gratitude While Striving for More

February 25, 2016 By: Leah Ballard2 Comments

being grateful

I am really good at comparing myself to others. And while most would suggest that this is usually not a good idea, for me it can go one of two ways. Sometimes I look at the person who has a Ph.D. at 30, is a mom who seems to be ‘put together’, and who appears […]

I’m a Renaissance Woman

February 19, 2016 By: Leah Ballard6 Comments

jack of all trades

I have been speaking with a career coach for about a month now. If you are familiar at all with coaching, you’ll know that in a lot of ways they are getting you to come to your own realizations. Often they do this by asking you questions (rather than feeding you the answer or assuming […]

Touching Up Baby

February 15, 2016 By: Leah Ballard6 Comments

I learned a new skill (one of many!) during my son’s first year of life – how to touch up photos on Photoshop. While this could be useful for making myself look as perfect as possible in my online presence, I realize that there is some level of vanity associated with that. Which is fine […]

Stay at Home or Not, Don’t Judge My Decision

boy and his mother

Whether you are a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) or a working mom, it becomes part of your identity. Our society puts labels on us, no matter our role in or out of the house. I am probably seen as ‘career-driven’ due to the fact that I commute into a government job in DC each day despite […]

Finding Your Peak Productivity Hour

February 9, 2016 By: Leah Ballard1 Comment

Finding time to get it all done

It is that magical hour. That time of day when I am no longer ‘on the clock,’ no longer answering messages for my day job, but when my son is not yet home from daycare. That hour when I frantically run around the house, trying to get as much done as humanly possible. It’s that […]

February 6, 2016 – What I’m Loving

February 6, 2016 By: Leah Ballard1 Comment

Sometimes, I don’t have enough information to post a full article on a particular topic, but I still want to share. So, I am going to test out doing “What I’m Loving Right Now.” And I’m optimistic that I can do this at least every other Saturday. We will see, won’t we? Prince Lionheart Faucet […]

Being Too Hard on Myself as a Parent

February 3, 2016 By: Leah Ballard5 Comments

Too hard on myself as a parent

I often have the issue of being too hard on myself as a parent. I find things to feel bad about, as if I need to! Like when I forget to take the camera to an important event, which in the life of a toddler is everything, and nothing. Or I realize after arriving at […]
