Why Moms Drink So Much Coffee
You've seen them. I know you have. One of the many, many memes about why moms drink coffee. All the shirts about moms needing coffee. And of course, coffee mugs about moms needing coffee.

So many things just get mentioned in a rather socially appropriate manner. Well, since when have I ever been socially appropriate? ;) Here are some things no … [Read more...]
Small Business Mom: Meredith from The Papery Craftery
Welcome to the August edition of Small Business Moms! Small Business Moms is a monthly post where I feature a different work at home mom. Each mom is a little bit different in what they do for work. Some moms have a craft based business, some work for as a consultant for another company such as Thirty One or Pampered Chef, and some have online based businesses such as being a virtual assistant. Whatever the business is, my hope is to not only gain them exposure but also to encourage other moms … [Read more...]
