Career

When you take a risk, there’s anxiety involved. When you take a risk and you have two small children whose well-being depends on your stability, there’s intense fear involved. How does that translate when that risk is also a dream come true? How does that translate when you are completely disrupting the world that those children live in? Wednesday, May […]

Last week I spent three out of the five days of the week away from my family on a business trip. And much like most things in life, the anticipation of this time away was worse than actually being away. When I thought of not holding, hugging and kissing my kids, I just ached with pain and guilt from going […]

I’ve only been working full time for a very short time but I can’t help but feel like it’s a juggling act where all the balls are being thrown/falling on me at once.

I […]

My Sunday night fortune read something like…a routine may give you the structure you need, yet the structure may leave you exhausted. I’m not sure that was a fortune or just a truth. Going back to work has had some positives. For one, we are getting into a groove of being a four-person family. I am back to preparing dinners, […]

Big news, Drew did it! He walked across the room!! Not just once…but back and forth! It was amazing, to see this child blossom and reach yet another milestone. My biggest fear had been that I would miss it. I heard stories about children reaching milestones like that at daycare with people who’s job it is to watch your kid. […]
