I have an excellent idea for a post. Tragically, that idea will go unused for tonight, because I lack the fortitude to battle my current state of exhaustion. This was a weekend known in this house as “drill weekend,” when DH spends both Saturday and Sunday up at the Guard base. I, in contrast, spend

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to appear on NBC Connecticut with Melanie to talk about World Breastfeeding Week! The whole thing was pretty unreal. Seriously, if you had told me a year ago that I would be on live TV, let alone writing for this incredible site, I never would have believed it. Life is
As of today, I will have been writing a weekly blog post for CTWM for one year – and what a great experience it’s been! Before joining CT Working Moms, I had been following the site for a few months and would drop in every few days to read the honest, touching, and devastatingly funny
I volunteered to take Kriste’s weekly post today, because she had a schedule snafu, and why not? Help a mom and blogger out, that’s what we’re all about. Only problem is that I’m a bit short on time myself. Blogging during the middle of the workday is hard, because, you know, work. But then, blogging
I know we are all about to be inundated with Thanksgiving related gratitude posts (I’m not complaining, I love gratitude stuff!), but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about this blogging shindig.

1. SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE A NUT … I know Melissa just posted about this frequent CTWM topic, but it turns out that my three year old has food allergies. So my brain has been dwelling on her and the myriad forms I’m being required to fill out (for two separate school-day/child care programs).
Since the list format for blogging seems to be so popular lately, here is another stab I am taking at itemizing the jumbled thoughts in my brain into quick-fix entries that are at least loosely organized under a specific theme. This week: what are some of the many, many (many …) things that I’m no longer
It’s Sunday night and I’m pretty sure every parent everywhere is thinking the same thing – how do we get up tomorrow morning and start our normal work day routine when we can’t stop thinking about the horrible tragedy that just occurred in Newtown? I have no answers other than to say that we
I don’t know what’s come over me today but I feel this overwhelming need to thank all of those involved with CTWorkingMoms.com. My bloggers are incredible. Every week they let the world get a glimpse into their lives. They are honest about the good things and the not-so-good things. In one day I can go
I follow a lot of bloggers on Twitter who attended the Type-A Parent Conference last week. One of the attendees sent out this Tweet on Sunday: Ellen Gerstein (@elleinthecity): I wish all new bloggers could hear this keynote. Blogging isn’t about swag or popularity, it’s about moving people w/your words. #typeacon I totally agree with that
