But while a Drake University professor has literally penned an essay entitled “The Baby Bump is the New Birkin,” a new cultural analysis is being presented. A baby bump isn’t just a trendy accessory (eye roll). In a rich celebrity setting, it’s the biggest lady tabloid status symbol. More
However, pushing flexible work-life policies as an alternative to the egg freeze movement assumes – incorrectly – that instituting career balance is a mother’s responsibility. More
I hope the world takes note: Charlie Rose asked “that question.” You know, the one we always complain is asked only of successful women but never of successful fathers. Last night Rose demanded to know how Bill Gates balances it all. More
I couldn’t help but feel personally attacked by Eve Vawter‘s piece on entrepreneur women and the empathy they don’t deserve when they dare find balancing their businesses and family difficult. I find myself in a very similar situation to Natalie Massenet, the founder of Net-a-Porter. Like Massenet, I have a new baby, a new business and a successful husband. Unlike Massenet, I also have a demanding 3-year-old. Also unlike Massenet, I don’t get to talk about this extremely difficult time in my life in retrospect. More
In just the past few days there have been half a dozen articles painting a portrait of Generation Y, or the Millennials, as materialistic, entitled, delusional, lazy and greedy. What’s bringing on this slew of criticism? A recent study co-authored by psychologist Jean Twenge. Every outlet lapped up her conclusions, quick to pick on the iGeneration, but not one of them offered another theory behind the answers from the high school seniors. Meanwhile, while I read article after article, all I could think was “maybe millennials are not delusional, maybe these kids just value work-life balance?” More
I was excited to see the opinion piece, “Warren Buffett is bullish … on women” in Fortune magazine pop up in my Twitter feed. Warren Buffett staking claim in the feminist world? I love it! The 140 character invite told me Warren Buffett was demanding all men get on board. Sounded great, until I read his reasons why. More
Unless you’ve been under a rock with no Wifi, you know that Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has been hit with some scrutiny regarding her work from home policy – specifically from parents. But now, I don’t give two figs about all the work from home hoopla considering that Marissa has officially announced a baller maternity leave and paternity leave for Yahoo employees. Work from home what? More
I can’t believe I’m saying this in the year 2013, but from the results of this study it seems that jobs in medicine, engineering, the law or finance really are no jobs for women. More
When I was 17, I was in love with a boy who was my entire world. He was a few years older and enlisted in the military, going off to boot camp and serving in far away places throughout his military career. Meanwhile I finished high school and enrolled in college, trying to continue my life while writing daily letters, awaiting intermittent phone calls and widely spaced visits in person. At the time, I thought that he would eventually get out of the military, return home to me and then we would finally get married and raise a family. I was too young and naive to fully grasp what that plan truly encompassed. More

5 Ways You And Your Husband Can Keep Fascinating Each Other
I never got the “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life” advice as a kid, but maybe that’s because my mom was a waitress and my dad a cab driver and they were both content with having their jobs just be jobs and not their purpose in life. Which makes me really wonder where I went wrong. More
I love it when powerful women who have managed to balance career, children and a satisfying marriage admit that the reason it all works is because they stay in their lane. You know, do the cooking and cleaning and be the submissive little wife all men want. It’s so empowering. Who needs to dismantle gender stereotypes when you have a life of cooking, cleaning and being a yes-woman to fall back on? More
In another instance of “different strokes for different folks,” “the grass is always greener,” and whatever other adage that can be applied to different parenting arrangements, Elizabeth “Really A Mom” Banks isn’t too pleased with hers at the moment. More
In a bold step for assisted reproductive technology, researchers are working on a new egg freezing technique to allow a woman to freeze-dry her eggs at their peak and preserve them for years. In her own kitchen cabinet. Because even if the workplace isn’t progressing, science is. More
My conversations with my husband are either about business, or they consist of me expressing my desire for a date, time alone with him, or even time by myself so I can work on some other things. I’m always with the kids and yes, I am one of those moms who feels like I have lost myself in the process. More
