I’ll Never Be a Professional Blogger
Last week in the New York Magazine, there was an article about the Queens of Mommy Bloggers. As I read through the article, couldn’t help but think that I will never be a professional blogger.

What Do You Do All Day?
Time is a really interesting thing. When I was still working outside the home, it felt like the hours, days, and weeks just flew by. At work, I would be so engrossed in what I was doing, I sometimes had to set a reminder to pop up on my computer and tell me to go…
