Career and family: Struggling with the balance

April 29, 2009 by amreen

"I can bring home the bacon. Fry it up in a pan. And never, ever let you forget you're a man."

Leaving Her

April 27, 2009 by Kath

The hardest thing is leaving her.When she was only a baby and then a toddler, I left her every day so I could go to work. She would cry. So sad, so scared, so lost. I would sit patiently with her in the daycare, waiting until she seemed a little more comfortable, until maybe she turned her back to … [Read more...]

Words of Wisdom

April 22, 2009 by Kath

Do you remember high school English? Remember studying Hamlet? Remember the character Polonius (he was Ophelia's father), and how he spent a whole scene spouting off advice to his  son, Laertes?

I Miss You!

April 16, 2009 by Jen

11 days is a loooooong time to be away. Of course I miss my husband and my friends and my parents but there is someone I just need to see.

Helping Children Master the Basic Facts

April 15, 2009 by Rob

Do you or your child still struggle with your basic facts? Does the thought of adding or subtracting two numbers in your head make you cringe?

My Life: A Photo Essay (or, why I NEED Hermione’s time-turner)

April 13, 2009 by Kath

I woke up this morning (after only not quite six hours of sleep) in a cold sweat. Now, that may be peri-menopause (I have been waking in a sweat with alarming frequency lately) or it may be the sad, messy, disorganized and basically just time-crunched state of my life at present.Here is my craft … [Read more...]

What I Miss…

April 13, 2009 by Margot

Do you ever miss the previous incarnation of yourself?  The one pre-motherhood.  I'm a stay-at-home-mom.  I feel very fortunate to do so, but I had a life before my boys.  I had a career that I more than willingly not just put aside, I ended.  As in closed the book on that … [Read more...]
