So You Want To Talk Empowered? I packed the hubbs on a plane to Kansas City and off we went this past weekend to figure out this whole bloggy thing I have been doing for several weeks. It’s about time, huh? We went to something called WordCamp KC. WordCamps are community organized meetings for users…
Good Read from Mom-101 This week, I was minding my own business on the commute to work, picking my nose, reading about the Beastie Boys, daydreaming about cheese, adjusting a wedgie–whatever things you do in the privacy of a packed A-train car filled with anonymous commuters.

My friend, Rene Syler at Good Enough Mother has a terrific posting this morning on achieving a Work-Life Balance. Most of us working moms know that managing a full-time job outside the home as well as a family is a challenging task if ever there was one. This is especially the case in this day…
There is a great new post over at Mommy Needs Coffee. This is one of my favorite blogs to read each day. Jennifer’s writing is always edgy, sometimes saucy – and frequently a guilty pleasure for me. She has a fun post entitled,Everything I needed to know about life, I learned from 8 years of…
Today’s Empowered Moms are constantly re-evaluating what it means to “have it all” and creating new ways to balance family and work. “The Mommy Wars” of the past decades, which pitted stay-at-home mothers against those in the workforce, have changed.

I love writing. And writing well. It’s sort of like crafting a good recipe and meal. I love to read good writing almost as crating it myself. So when I came across Melody Godfred’s blog, Write in Color, it was like finding an old friend. If you love good writing – go here – often.…
