One thing that I love about this community is the incredible diversity in our situations — some of us are out working, some of us are at home, some of us are working at home, and others are finishing up school. We’re balancing our far-reaching obligations, contemplating massive life changes, wondering where to go next….
I snagged this quote from Blogger Advocate Extraordinaire Sarah Bryden-Brown, and I think it’s all you need to know. I think it’s the very reason why you can succeed no matter the perceived obstacles. I think it’s the truth. Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;…
This video of Arianna Huffington feels like she’s talking to me, and I’m sure any Typa A, trying-to-have-it-all mom will feel the same. Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s 11 p.m. and I have about three more hours of work. I’ll start sleeping tomorrow. [via TED]

We talk a lot about today’s “young mom” minority, at least when looking at our generation as a whole. There are less 20-somethings choosing to start families than ever before — even less than the Gen-Xers. And of course Gen-X women were the original Put-Off-Parenting trend-setters, quickly spreading like an epidemic. And as I’ve said…
My birthday is at the very end of August, so I’ve always been “the young one.” My friends turned each age months before I did, which was always pointed out — especially at ages like 16 and 21. My first boyfriend used my “young age” (two years younger) as an excuse to break my heart….
