Laughs, Love & Coping in Motherhood‪.‬ The Mommy Chronicles

What a fun time! This lady has got her shit together. She recognized that being a stay-at-home mother wasn't for her and transitioned to working outside the home with eyes wide open. Armed with self-awareness, good friends, and an infectious laugh, she is conquering this mommyhood thing with grace.

This laid-back and revealing mother dishes about putting out (even when she doesn't want to), loving and disliking her children, and laughing at her ass-clapping 3-year old. I love her honesty.

I thought just dealing with your own children was tough. This momma has two tween stepchildren, her own newborn and an almost-four-year-old, and a traveling husband. We could all learn from her ability to see the 'big picture,' and from her obvious confidence, balance, and strength. What a great time: enjoy!

What a great time on a rainy day to catch up with this juggling mama. She volunteers to run her daughter’s preschool while working outside the home, settling into a new home, and raising her 3 children (ages 4months - 5 years old). Biggest problem in her family? Her in-laws. Sweetest and most realistic view on marriage after children? Hers. Have fun!

It was pure pleasure talking to and catching up with, this law-school friend. As a former corporate attorney turned stay-at-home mom dealing with mental health balance, financial and space issues in New York City, all with a very busy husband- it’s remarkable how she holds it together and does so with the most sweet and calm demeanor. Enjoy and be inspired.

I was thrilled to enjoy this outdoor (Sorry! Again!) night-time conversation with one the most driven, intelligent, yet laid-back mothers I know. Operating on adrenaline and yes, sometimes illicit substances, she feels completely stretched as a full-time working mother: but her love for her children and husband and her honesty about what it is like to manage so many working pieces is amazing. Enjoy!
