These Are the Best Cities for Working MomsReal Estate
One day we’ll collectively evolve into a society that fully supports the struggles of juggling work and parenting. But until we can get everyone (employers, specifically) to get on board with stuff like paid family leave, here’s a list of cities that are the best—and not so great—for working moms. First, the not so good news—the list excludes an entire region of the country, which isn’t exactly promising for mothers in the Northeast.

7 Creative Ideas to Make an Outdoor Oasis for Kids this SummerPlants & Yard
With warm weather finally here, the wheels in my mind have been turning thinking of fun ways to get my little ones outdoors as much as possible.

The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: One Year Sharing a Bedroom with a BabyDecorating

Or, like my family, you’re not quite ready to have your infant share a room with an older child.

Making it Work: Working From Home With KidsLife
I love the way our world is changing. Gone are the days where you were either a work-outside-the-home mom or a stay-at-home mom, when rare was the woman who didn’t fit into one of those categories exclusively. With the integration of technology and innovation into our work and home lives, there are so many possible combinations of working environments for moms (and dads!).
