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
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
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
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
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
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 […]

Read on to learn more about Laura, a friend of mine (in ‘real life!’), and a fellow lover of Posh’s Moisturize911. 🙂 Tell us a little about you. My husband, Ryan, and I have been […]
Being 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 […]
The Week When ‘Nothing’ Got Done
In case you didn’t hear, we had a blizzard come through this past week. And while it was gone by Sunday morning, it has taken the better part of a week to dig out. The good news for me is this meant I only went into the office one day this week. But somehow, I […]
Managing Your Career Based on the Season of Your Life
I’ve heard a lot of people recently speak about the season of their life. People will say they realize their limitations based on the ‘season’ they are in. In other words, you need to understand your limitations based on what is currently happening in your personal life (i.e. starting a family, sending kids off […]
