Mamma Switches Jobs

Hi Moms (and Dads)!

I've been away for awhile now. I apologize. However, I was living through a transition. I changed jobs! As if life as a working mom isn't stressful enough. Throw in working through the kinks of a new job situation, and there goes all of my free time to write.

However, now I am back, and I am better than before. My new position affords me some time that I can concentrate on other endeavors, like saving TIME and MONEY! Every mom's magic words, huh?

Changing jobs was a difficult decision for me, but the time seemed right. When you begin to take your work home, the little ones see even less of you. So, I found a position that allows me to work and then just be mom when I walk out the doors at night. (No more weekends and weeknights! Hurray!)

Have you been looking for a new job? Let's share stories... Good luck to all of you job seekers out there.

How to Relieve Your Toddler's Constipation; Here's How I Do It...

I feel your pain. I know you haven't had any sleep for days, and you are worried about your little one. You're thinking, "Will I have to resort to an enema again?" Ugh! I get it. I have a two year old, who is perfect in every way, except one...he has an awful digestion system. It seems like this has been going on for him since the moment he was born, poor guy. I managed the first year and a half of life by nursing him. He never had any trouble digesting my milk. (And some days, I wish I could get my milk flowing again.) After 18 months, his belly has been nothing but a problem for us all. When the toddler is upset, even the neighbors can hear it...he screams bloody murder! So, for the past year, I have tried everything I could think of trying to get his system moving properly. His doctor's orders, at first, were to add fiber and water to his diet. Upon leaving the doctor's office, I felt confident. I thought, "OK, I can do that!"

The Dirty Little Secrets of Our Unemployment and the Road to Recovery

It was a rough couple of years, wasn't it. My husband and I thought we were prepared, with three month's salary in the bank. Ha! Three months? What about weathering unemployment for two years, due to the Great Recession? Luckily, we were able to hold onto our house and cars, unlike so many others out there. But, that came at a price. We had to cash in one of our retirements, and I had to go back to work to support the family. We traded paying childcare costs for having health insurance. In addition to the monetary losses, the strain unemployment put on our relationship was intense. But, after FIVE years, we are very slowly, moving to a better place in our lives. In 2009, my husband lost his secure, professional position that allowed me to work from home while caring for our first son. While we were blessed with a supportive family and friends, the last five years have been incredibly difficult on my husband and I. At first, we didn't believe that his losing
