Up With Moms

I'm a working mom with two beautiful little girls. My husband is wonderfully supportive, but he's, you know...a man. Like you, I put up a pretty good facade of being the perfect mom when behind the scenes I'm barely holding it together. My blog is about becoming a mommy advocate to achieve some semblance of sanity. It's a matter of being our own advocates at home (or those little people will overthrow us!), but it's also about taking a stand against a decidedly family-unfriendly America. Join me as I feel my way through it. Together, we can make things better for all moms. If not for us, then maybe we can do it for our daughters!
