9 Things I’ve Learned From Going Back to Work After a Baby
Recently, I was asked to speak on a panel about going back to work after having a baby. Having done this twice, I am definitely no expert, but I can speak about what worked for me. Here are nine things I've learned (or wish I'd known) based on a predictable weekday schedule.

Disconnecting From My Cell Phone, Connecting With My Kids
It all started by accident. Halfway to work one day, I realized I had forgotten my cell phone. I was forced to spend a good nine hours with no cell phone.
Say Yes to Summer!
Every year around this time, I start getting antsy. I start to realize the summer I have been waiting for is already halfway over.

My Baby Napped in Her Crib — Once
It had been a very long day. A very long snow day. A very long snow day with a 4-year-old and an infant. An infant who does not nap in her crib, I should add....
The Birthday Dinner :: 4 MetroWest Restaurants to Celebrate Your Child’s Big Day

I Took a Sick Day, and So Can You!
