Home Based Work Can Adapt To Your Ever Changing Life

Just now, I noticed how many times I have arranged and rearranged my work schedule within the past week.

I have actually found the opposite to be true. Having the freedom to create a work schedule that works for me means that I am able to adapt to different work and family related situations as they arise. For example, one of my writing clients asked me … Continue reading →

Baby Blog Month in Review: July 2008

Two of my three children are summer babies. That is, they were born in the summer and had their first months surrounded by sunshine streaming in the windows, the sound of birds chirping, and days spent wearing nothing but a diaper and a “onsie.” I made sure that they had Fourth of July outfits ready, even though one of them arrived a week after the holiday. I guess he just wasn’t interested in the parade. Do you have a summer baby, too? We had a lot of new information to share this past month, such as recall notices and new … Continue reading →

Fathers Finding the Balance

From books to TV, magazines to the Internet, it is not hard to find mothers venting about how difficult it is to find the perfect balance between work and child rearing. Juggling a career plus the responsibilities that go along with being a wife and mother takes a tremendous amount of energy, discipline, patience, and hard work. However, according to a new survey, moms are not the only ones trying to do it all and feeling like failures in the process. Researchers at the Boston College Center for Work and Family recently released the results of a survey in which … Continue reading →

Holographic Telecommuting – Is It Really As Cool As It Sounds?

It appears as though the future of telecommuting is almost here. Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a means for displaying 3D videos in real time – the holographic display. The exact science is far to complicated for me to attempt to wrap my brain around it, but from what I understand, it involves multiple cameras, fast-moving lasers, and photo reactive plastic. Oh, and a screen. A small screen. For some reason, all of this excitement is squeezed onto a small screen. What does all of this have to do with telecommuting? Currently, the holographic video technology can … Continue reading →

Media Review: Adoptive Families Magazine

Adoptive Families is a comprehensive bimonthly adoption magazine which covers all types of adoption—domestic and international, infant and older child, open, semi-open and confidential, and adopting from foster care. I have found the coverage to be very well-balanced among the different types. In the past two years I have canceled several magazine subscriptions because I don’t have time to read them. Adoptive Families, by contrast, is read cover to cover before I go to bed the day it is delivered. The magazine is written almost entirely by adoptive families. There are sections of advice from experts such as counselors, social … Continue reading →
