Just a Glimpse Into Being a Work At Home Mom

Chime in Work at Home Moms!

A Heightened Reaction

This past weekend I went to the movies for the first time since becoming a mom. I was supposed to see that new Sarah Jessica Parker movie about being a working mom (which apparently tanked in movie theaters) but instead ended up seeing The Help with my pal Dena. While I missed my husband and baby girl it was nice to be out on a Saturday night just relaxing with a friend and enjoying a good movie.

And my goodness was it a good movie! I hadn’t read the book and really didn’t know much about the movie before Saturday night. I was struck by how powerful and inspiring it was. All through the movie you could hear people sniffling and I even caught Dena wiping her eyes at one point or another. You know it’s a good movie when the credits are rolling and literally no one in the movie theater moves to get up. We all sat in silence for what felt like 5 minutes before anyone started for the door.

100 Best Companies for Working Mothers 2011

One of the websites I love to read is Working Mother.  Since I started actually writing for work if that is what you want to call it, I have described myself as a work at home mother.   But whether you work at home, or out of the home, working is working.

Today Working Mother came out with their 100 Best Companies, and I was almost instantly sad to see that Babble.com wasn't on the list because as a working mother I think they are an amazingly fantastic company to work with, and work for.
