Save The Personality And Sass For Happy Hour Not Your Boss

Houston, we might have another Cisco Fatty on our hands! I belong to a few online/email groups and came across an email from a young lady who’d gotten into some hot water because she tweeted about a potential job offer after snagging and acing the interview. One problem. She tweeted the company’s name and possibly that the person [...]

Journey To Motherhood: How Did You Know You Were Ready To Become A Mother?

How did you know you were ready to become a mom?  Did something just switch on?  I’ll be honest and say I don’t know that I was ready to be “wife” until 1.5 years into our marriage.  The intent was there but to really step into it?  Only happened recently LOL  And I’m ok with [...]

Stay At Home Moms And The What If Factor?

He then asked if I would consider being a stay at home mom devoted solely to raising [...]
