Time at the Top By Ann Gomez

Let's face it - we are the "CEO" of our family. As the 'Chief Executive Officer' we are often responsible for maintaining the social/activity schedule, the family meals, the house ... not to mention our own careers. While we may have help with some of these responsibilities, we tend to play the role of 'project manager' and oversee things (Please ensure that Christopher get his homework done before soccer.)
We are all so busy and yet there are only 24 hours in a day. How can we possibly fit it all in?

Time Waits for No Single Mother By Jo Langham |

I've always been good at juggling, and that's a good thing. Because when you've made working in PR agencies a way of life, one client call or one unfavorable media article can throw the to-do list you had for the day out of the window.
Then six years ago I became a single mum living a PR-agency life with family more than 3,500 miles away, and juggling took on a whole new perspective! I was forced to... |

Are You Faking? By Michelle King Robson

My husband and I were on a boat trip with a bunch of our friends, and someone brought along this game called "Sex for Dummies."
This was one of those conversational-type games where everyone takes turns asking questions from a card, and then people are supposed to answer them truthfully. So we're sitting around the table having a margarita or two and playing the game and one of the questions was about orgasms and what you need in order to have one.
One of my friends, bless her heart, went into this long explanation about how her husband kissed her in just the right spot on her...

 Marketing Anti Aging -The Moral Dilemma I have always been very upfront about my stance on cosmetic enhancements. I'm not a fan. I know not everyone agrees with my opinion. But in the end, I feel that Botox, Restylane, face lifts, boob lifts and tummy tucks are a symptom of women reacting to a society telling us we're not good enough.
Getting old is not a pretty thing. But it happens to all of us. Why should we succumb to some brilliant marketing genius who is able to convince vulnerable women like us that aging is bad. You know the only reason that picture is being painted is so we spend our money on their products and make them rich.
So, here's my moral conundrum...

 Julie Cole: The Baby Machine Blog
Since it's my first post here at the YM club, I thought it might be appropriate to tell you why I'm here and give you the low down on my little life. So, here's the scoop:
I'm a busy mama expecting baby #6 next month. I'm actually heading into c-section #6 which makes me a bit of a science experiment. I had my fifth kid when my eldest was six years old, so I'm a fan of packing them in tight. The gap between baby #5 and baby #6 is by far the biggest I've ever had which is a whopping 2.5 years. I usually cut baby's first birthday cake hovering over a belly full of the next baby.
Yes, I have my babies one at a time. No, I am not aiming for a show on TLC.
