We will now be sharing our insight and laughter with the Pink Magazine community.

Take a look at our first post below: Is This Really My Life?

Have you ever wondered who stole your wildly cool, sane and laugh-a-minute life and left you with the crazy, unbalanced and decidedly not-so-cool life of a frazzled working mom in its place?

Yea, we have too.

Pretty much every day, actually.

But….the good news is we (and by we, we mean all of us working moms) are pretty good at getting the real lesson out of even the most unproductive, disorganized, previously-unimaginable, “Calgon-take-me-away” kind of days.

Here are some recent examples of some “Is-This-Really-My-Life” moments we’ve had and the accompanying lesson we will always carry from said moments:

1. Just because you consider yourself accomplished, talented and rational, doesn’t mean you are, should be or have to be the world’s most flawless hostess.

Yup, we’re hip like that… 

Thanks to Jennifer Anthony of SouthFlorida.com for writing an article that really captures the spirit of WorkingMomLifeline.com.

She’s a busy lady, that working mother. She barely has time in her day for a coffee break let alone a full-scale commiseration with a cadre of like-minded, equally stretched pals. Where, then, can she turn for support? Now, thanks to WorkingMomLifeline.com she can get by with a little help from her cyber friends.

From our dinner table to yours - let the carbfest begin!

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

I just got back from a two day cruise with six great girlfriends!  We were on the Solstice, Celebrity’s newest (and I mean brand-spanking new; we were the first passengers to ever sleep in our cabin) ship.  Solstice kind of feels like a boutiquey (is that a word?) South Beach hotel…except this hotel floats.  Elegant and hip all at the same time… but enough about the ship. 

Martini Bar

Bottom line - two days away simply isn’t enough time. 

Since it was just girlfriends (no kids/spouses/pets/responsibilities), we could have been pretty much anyplace and a good time would have been guaranteed.

So, if you go to our Marketplace on the WorkingMomLifeline.com website, you’ll see a bunch of items/products designed and created by yours truly. 

I have fun doing this, and it satisfies my creative side (hopefully it also helps my parents feel good about the fact that they paid alot to send me to a pricey art school for four years, albeit a prestigious one, but nonetheless, it cost them plenty).  We have all kinds of items in our “store”, but one in particular has apparently caused a problem.

Mastercard thinks I’m infringing - on  what, I have no idea; could be circles, the color yellow, or that I used an equal (=) sign.  Call me crazy, but in the most simple terms, that’s about it.

The offending item is a onesie, for a baby (go figure).  I came up with the idea, it made me laugh and I quickly designed it and posted it in our store.  Seemed benign enough to me, I guess not so much…

I started off my morning with the usual run-around like I always do.  Gotta get everyone and everything (kids, dog, work) ready for the day, like most of you do too.  I figure whipping myself into a frenzy at 6:30am must be worth a few calories spent, right?  So, I’m off to a good start. 

Tonight is ‘Trick or Treat’, which for me directly translates into how many “Fun Size” chocolates can I ingest before getting around our block.  Unfortunately, we don’t only go around our block, but venture to some side streets too…up, down, up, down….lots of walking….lots of time holding Halloween candy.  You get the picture?

So, I’m at the gym doing Halloween math - how many minutes (I did a lame attempt at a jog for 25 min.) on the treadmill will it take to negate scarfing down (and licking melted chocolate off of fingers too) three little chocolate yummies?  Throw in one misc. Twizzler and an extra Tootsie Roll too.  Hmmm, better hop on the stairmaster after the treadmill.  Does 15 minutes of the boring stairmaster help?
