We’ve all been there; it’s 6:00am, coffee’s barely brewing, dog(s) are whining to go out, kid(s) need to be dressed for daycare/school, and lunches made for hubby and children. You’ve quickly checked emails, had just enough time for one cup of coffee, showered, and now making a mad dash to get to work before rush […]
Many Americans celebrate this hubris holiday, as do many across the world. Why hubris, you may ask?

Mom’s work hard! From the day we were born, they have worried for us, rocked us to sleep, stayed up all night when we’re sick, cleaned up after us, taught us to drive, cooked for us, helped us with homework, walked through our multiple relationships, kept our siblings and us from annihilating each other, driven us […]
