I love iced coffee. A true New Englander, I will drink iced coffee daily no matter the season. I will make it at home but I prefer Starbucks and the baristas at my local store know me by name. I also love a good coffee shop…the vibe, the smell, all the tasty possibilities…but I digress.… Read More Iced Coffee
My daughter and I have always had a close bond. She’s been my little buddy, especially after getting divorced many years ago. It’s been me and her, forever and always. But lately, I feel like I only get glimpses into the sweet, loving kid she was before she hit the pre-teen years. Everything I say… Read More The Stress of the Pre-Teen Years
It’s been a while since I’ve written publicly about what is on my mind and heart. Life has surely kept me busy with its twists and turns. Ever a fickle character, there has been constant change in my story. Nothing you can do except take it one day at a time. In my previous stint… Read More It’s me. Hi.
Hello to our CT Working Moms family! It’s been about 3 years since we wrote our last post in 2019 announcing that we were ending the website after an amazing 8 years with you.

I would not cry in front of my eight year old younger son during the car ride home. Well, I broke those promises. I… Read More They’re Only Ours On Loan
Happiness. This is what I see when I look at this photo. Not crazy happy like everything is perfect, far from it, but we are happy. For this one moment in time, I see smiles, silliness, love and summer. We are all together and it’s my happiness. This weekend is always an emotional one for… Read More Happiness
Have you ever seen the movie Garden State with Zach Braff and Natalie Portman? I absolutely love that movie but I’ve found it makes me incredibly sad so often I’ll see it on as I’m flipping through my channels and I’ll actually force myself to keep moving. One scene I always shed a few tears… Read More Reasons To Scream Into An Abyss
I have three daughters. I have, at times, wondered why I was not blessed with a son. I see the relationship my friends have with their sons and I’m a bit curious and envious. I would have loved to see my husband be a father to a son. I know our family dynamic would be… Read More Best Job Ever
Recently, I heard a story about a young mom who was looking to hire a photographer to document the birth of her first child. For medical reasons (not that it should matter), she was having a planned c-section. A particular photographer came highly recommended. Upon request of the photo shoot, the photographer told the mom… Read More In Solidarity with my C-Section Mamas
