A book, an event and an observation or two
That's what I've been up to over at Moms@Work. The book was about the benefits of allowing children room to grow without their parents obsessive intense encouragement and support. The event is a breakfast and networking opportunity on June 6th at the Desmond. Go and meet some Women@Work folks and get energized. Heroes don't always … Continue reading A book, an event and an observation or two
Everything I know about Troy, I learned from Mary Panza
