Here's what was going on over at Moms@Work... A new school year began, with some advice. I tried to convince myself that numbers weren't always important. More math when I referenced an article from the NY Times. Division this time. Discover how to work better with your boss - on Columbus Day!

A bridge, a baby and some boys
There's almost nothing like the ocean to punctuate time, especially when you're temporarily living on an island which is inaccessible during high tide. The necessity of planning is as explicit and unavoidable as the tide chart adhered to the fridge with a magnet. When the tide is out there's the shallowest of tidal pools under … Continue reading A bridge, a baby and some boys

Anyway, yesterday was International Women's Day and here's my Moms@Work post in recognition of that holiday. I can't say any of the facts really surprised me, nor … Continue reading International Women’s Day
