We think we have to choose
We’ve been told time and time again that we can’t have it all. You can’t have the dream job and the man of your dreams. Choose. There’s no way you can be an awesome mom and have a thriving career. Choose. Personally, after my second child, my old employer wondered out loud if I’d be […] Read more…
Why we wait for permission and how to stop

It’s almost done. I plan on being ready.
Every year we come to this month and it’s like, “where did the year go?” Somehow the whole 12 months seem to run by us in a flash. Well, it’s almost done. I plan on being ready! My mom always says, “time flies whether you’re having fun or not.” She’s right. This year, I’m happy […] Read more…
Motivated Mama: Smarty Stilettos
