A Moms Getaway
Destination: Block Island Accomplices: 6 High School Girlfriends (Yes, we've been friends for 5 years now ha ha) The time is 6:15 am on a Sunday. I've been up since 4:30 am. Am I a little eager? Of course, it is my annual girlfriend getaway and I'm late to arrive. Why you say? Let's just say I have not completely embraced the "put mom on the top of the to do list" philosophy but I am getting there! The other girls have already enjoyed 1 day on the beach and 1 night on the town (if you can call it a town). They have assured me that they did not have that much fun but I suspect they are lying. The commuting time is approximately 3 hours but it is three hours of heavenly solitude. No children whining no husband questioning me on my packing abilities (Did you pack my underwear?) Nope, it's just me – and yes I did forget to pack my underwear but I don't care. During the hour long ferry ride I see families heading over for vacations and I think "This would be a nice family destination but THANK GOD I don't have them with me." My cell phone rings I look at my caller ID. It's my husband, ALREADY!!! He just calls to wish my well and he says he misses me already. Strangely, I do not miss him as much as I do when he is away on his annual golf weekend (3 days, 2 night but I am not keeping track). The boat docks and I have arrived. I walk to our cottage and find the girls awake and waiting for me to go to breakfast. We are staying at the Blue Dorry Inn, a very quaint inn that provides a wonderful homemade breakfast in their dining room. The girls spend the breakfast filling me in on what happened the day/night before. It consists of drinks on the beach, appetizers for dinner, and drinks and dancing to a not very good band. They would have gone to bed early but one of the girls threatened bodily injury to anyone going to bed early. After my de-briefing, we break down into groups. Four of the girls went for a long walk on the beach and 3 of us decide to take in the scenery with a bike ride to the breathtaking Mohegan Bluffs. We rented bikes for 1 hours (no need to kill ourselves) and road straight uphill to our destination. After oohing and aahing over the views we returned our bikes, donned our bathing suits and hit the beach. The afternoon passed quickly at a beachside bar called Ballards. With cocktail service to our chairs and a band playing great music there is no need to move. We drink Caronas, read trashy magazines, talk about kids, husbands, having crushes, trying to have more children, trying not to have more children, our bodies, other women's bodies, the guy throwing the footballs' body. Most importantly we talk about how lucky we are that we have all remained friends over the years and can get together like this annually.

Work at Home Moms: The Importance of Priority and Time Management
For work at home moms, twenty four hours a day is never enough. Juggling between children, family and your career or business is a delicate skill. It is important to remind ourselves that we stay at home to give the best care to our children. So trading your quality time with your children and family with your business or job is never an option. Moreover, what about time to ourselves? That is important too. Having so many things to take care of, to avoid burn out and over stress, we have to learn how to prioritize and manage our time.
Working Moms and Homework Blues
For many single and working moms, just as with other working moms, the ability to spend every evening at the table with their sons and daughters to assist in their studies is just not a realistic goal. When you arrive home you have to make dinner, clean the house, do the laundry and dishes, and make sure that everything is in order for the next day to progress just as it did today. Its just business as usual. How can we nurture and care for our children the way we were meant to when we spend all of our time either working out of the home, or working in our home?
