Stop Stereotyping Career Moms… (Don’t play with us)!
I recently seen a post about career moms not making good homemakers. This led me to create this post. It is assumed that if you have a career and you are a mother, you are more prone to neglect every other aspect of your life, bullshit. I even loss interest in this creators content after […]

Hyperemesis Gravidarum
“This ain’t no regular morning sickness. I’m sick all damn day.” I said frustrated. I couldn’t get out the tub. Work started at 7:30 am and I was still in the tub at 7:10 am. I was crying because I knew I was going to have an awful day. I would be throwing up all […]

The Working Mom Chaos…
I recall a time I felt the entire pressure of being a working mom. I felt judged. I was already late to the parent meeting. I know they heard my heels clicking as fast as they could down the hall. I got myself together, clutched my purse and controlled my breathing. I found a seat […]

The Pandemic and Corporate America Working Parents
It was nothing new to me. Being a working mom can be rough. I’m always making adjustments. When the babysitter couldn’t make it to watch Jr, I had to adjust. When Heaven had early days out of school or snow days, major adjustments. There was usually always some weekly or monthly inconvenience for me. Now […]

Too Sexy for work. Are black women criticized more?
“Girl they told me to go home and change my shirt. And I could possibly get written up for having to leave. I don’t get it, the other girls wear shirts just like this, but nobody says anything.” I was packing my lunch and trying to get Apollo settled as I listened to my friend […]

Saving Money… DIY
I got up at 5:30 am. I took Apollo outside and then I had a craving for a frozen coffee at Dunkin. Oh, what I wouldn’t do for a frozen coffee. The memory of it made my mouth water. It soothed my tired soul and cheered me up. I felt like a prisoner to a […]

What I did when I was laid off…
If you have been following me for awhile, then you will know about my story in 2017. I got laid off in April, 2017. Yes, two kids, single and I was back hitting the ratchet streets of job search avenue. In the beginning, I felt scared. Scared to start over and start something new. Then […]

Virtual Learning vs Career Mom
I’m sitting in this Zoom meeting under the covers. For a minute the covers felt like an escape, as if they were sheltering me from something. I could hear my kids voices raising again and Apollo barking at the neighbors outside. I was going to yell and say for the hundredth time I was in […]

Helping My Kids Cope With Changes
Some days I obsess about how I am going to work through my work at home days. But lately, I have taken a moment to think about my kids and what they are going through. It was all fun in the beginning, staying home and not going to school. Summer breaks are fun and kids […]

“Shit, we’ve been social distancing.” -Career Moms
It’s nothing new to me. I mean at one point I was getting together with one of my best college buddies for cocktails. Happy hour was the best thing to do, but that was after making arrangements for who would pick up or watch the kids, trying to sneak in quickies and getting stuck at […]

Stupid Sh*t People Say to Career Moms
A lot of people look at the career mom as a Super- heroine. A lot of people make me laugh with their misconceptions and small mindedness. `Many women are working outside of the home nowadays and maintaining lucrative careers. Women are breadwinners and for many that is admirable. Women of today are being praised for […]
