When you manage a team of women — and more specifically, moms — who work from home, I believe it’s important to periodically gather up the troops and do some fun team building. Not the corporate conference room, hire a boring guest speaker type of team building, but treating moms to an experience they wouldn’t [...]
Happy New Year! Yes, it’s January 9th, but in overcommitted-mom-time being fashionably, frantically always late, I think I am still allowed to use that greeting through the 15th, so…look at that, I am right on time! I don’t have a lot of spare time so I’m condensing my mama blogging to once a week (hopefully [...]

I was going to work out today. And then, I wasn’t. I am exhausted from single parenting while hubby’s out of town and diving into the busiest month of the year for my businesses and getting ready for launch week of UrbanBlissLife.com. I haven’t slept more than 5 hours a night in over a week. [...]
It’s the morning of Day 6, and something has changed. My skin seems smoother, brighter, healthier, even though I haven’t slept more than 5 hours a night in the past week. My appetite – what the heck? I went to make a Sunday breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast for me and the kids and it [...]
I considered not doing the shred today. But I did, and it was easy. I still broke a sweat and my shoulders and upper arms hurt but I think it’s time to move on to Level 2.
I woke up once again in massive pain. And then, I went for a facial. I won a facial via Twitter from @DrGhaheri almost two months ago. He was holding a contest and the person who had the most followers to retweet his tweet would win a facial. Ta-da! I won! Let me tell you, [...]
