The Importance of Having a Mom Tribe


When you are a stay at home parent, the opportunity to be able to socialize with anyone over a certain age becomes less and less.

The Start of Something New- The Hesitation of Getting Back Into the Workforce


I have been surrounded by working women my whole life. My mom has worked my whole life, both of my grandma's have worked their whole life, and so did I...

I was very pregnant with my third child at the time and my husband and I both decided that the cost of childcare for three children was more than we wanted to pay. So I stayed home with the kids.

It's been five years since we moved and now my youngest will be starting kindergarten this fall. There is nothing holding me back from working again. My husband has been very successful at his job and if I decide to work, childcare for a few hours a day won't be too strenuous.What could possibly hold me back?
