Well, I feel we have to apologize again to our followers for a lack of activity over the past couple months, but as Beth mentioned last week, it’s been a VERY busy summer! I’m sure everyone can relate. Speaking of followers though, it was heartening to get some new followers recently even when we weren’t posting! We promise now to get back on it. I think I can speak for both of us when I say we need this “blog therapy” and to hear from other moms too so we can all stay sane!
As Beth also mentioned, my family dynamic has changed a bit as I added another son, John, to the mix in July! Being on maternity leave for 12 weeks and experiencing a taste of the SAHM life has definitely given me some new perspectives on things. To say the working mom “dilemma” has increased for me is an understatement! On one hand, I have loved being at home with my now two children, experiencing life through their eyes, and just being “mommy.” On the other, I am a little anxious/excited to get back to work – using my “adult brain” for problem solving and working on important client projects.
At any rate, it is Back to Reality for me very soon so for now I am going to have to just figure out how to re-configure my juggling act times two! I have 1.5 weeks until I go back to work full time and am on a mission to get organized the best I can by then in order to keep things running smoothly. It should be very interesting and I can already forsee many blog topics to come!
By the way, I am reading the book “I Don’t Know How She Does It” right now and LOVING it! I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. Beth and I plan to go see the movie soon too. It will be interesting to see what each of us take away from it. Stay tuned!!

This "mommy blog" is for all moms out there who are working in and out of the home, from the perspective of two best friends with completely different "mommy lives" (one with a successful career in business and one who stays home), but the same fundamental goal: to be the best moms we can be. Our purpose is to bridge the gap between the two different "mommy worlds" based on our two perspectives in experiencing the ups and downs of each, all while maintaining our 12-year-and-counting friendship.
