Today I’ve been blogging for two years. This is my 539th post.

I love my blog. Fiercely. There is a part of me in here. [Read more...]
The “Right” Parenting Choice
December 27, 2011 by 17 Comments
I’ll admit that I love being told I’m a good mom or doing a good job raising Bella. Who doesn’t like to hear that? But what I don’t love is when someone tries to congratulate me with a backwards compliment or insult to a working mom. Because that, my friends, really torks my monkey.
Like the PA in our old doctors office who wondered why Bella had croup so often last year. She asked if I had Bella in daycare, and I replied I stayed at home with her.
“Good for you,” she replied nodding. “Best thing you can do when you have children, what a great choice.”
Working Moms: This Blog’s For You
December 21, 2011 by 8 Comments
Tracy from Liberating Working Moms has popped by to give you a run down of her blog; the purpose and passion behind it. A place for working moms to connect and share, her hope is that some of you would consider putting your stories out there for other moms to read.
Greetings Hormonal Imbalances readers! I’m so grateful to Diana for allowing me to share with you some information about my bloggy project I’ve got going on. Diana is for sure one of the most supportive blogging friends out there, and of course I jumped at an opportunity to write a little ditty about Liberating Working Moms.
Liberating Working Moms, newly launched July 18th, 2011 (Of course I know the exact date. It’s like my second baby after all.), is a place for working moms to come together to share what works, what doesn’t, and what’s best for right now. Included are moms who work outside of the home, and those who work from home (Have you seen Diana’s post here about transitioning into a WAHM status?). And coming up next week, there is a guest post running about a hybrid working mom…you know someone who digs her feet deep in the sand on both sides of the fence. [Read more...]
Making a House a Home with Homemakers Challenge
December 18, 2011 by 3 Comments
I don’t think it’s any secret I love a clean, tidy, organized home.
Every since I started this blog, that’s been one of the things I’ve talked about on and off. There are times it’s gotten me in hot water, others when I’ve learned letting go is the best thing I can do at the moment. But all in all, I enjoy making my house a home – and in the past two years I’ve realized it’s ok to take pride in that. [Read more...]
Whining.
November 8, 2011 by 17 Comments
I’m so flippin’ exhausted.
Sam is gone all week. This is the second week of it and we have one more to go. He comes home on the weekends and then, because he’s been working 24 hours a day for 5 days, he wants to relax and I want to as well and Bella does not.
Bella is being awful. This morning she pulled my hair so hard that I almost came uncorked. I hate when she does that. Then at Gymboree she did it again while I was holding her, and refused to stand up when I put her down. So she ended up falling on the floor while I tried to catch her and it looked like I shoved her to the ground. Another mom threw me a dirty look.

Last month I got paid. Really paid. For my writing, for the work I did on here. It wasn’t just “WOOT – 2 Starbucks runs!” anymore, and it felt DAMN GOOD.
I’m not bragging – I understand it’s peanuts compared to many other bloggers. I’m being honest about something that has eaten away at me that I finally came to terms with for what I love to do.
When I started blogging, it was because I wanted to write about my day. I didn’t care about HTML or my design, I had no idea that typing each paragraph in a different colored font was not the best way to have people come back. But as time went on, I became more and more blog savvy, and I began to love the other part of blogging. The part beyond just writing. [Read more...]
