exciting announcement

In honor of returning to work in one week and one day, I am beginning a series on the working mother. Exciting, right?! I have lots and lots of thoughts on this and I find the topic fascinating, so I am going to break it down before it becomes completely jumbled. If you come for the pictures and not for the Deep Thoughts, feel free to disregard! Hopefully my girls can read this someday when they are sitting in their executive chair or living in a hut in Africa or sitting at home holding a baby and think, wow, it sure is easier today. Because the truth is, unless you are Heidi Klum or Tina Fey, it is nearly impossible to have it all. And the other truth is that women often get a raw deal when it comes to career and children.

This is such a great example. I saw Tina Fey on Oprah a couple weeks ago, and Oprah was asking her about being the big boss and about being a mom. Tina Fey said something along the lines of this: "well, you know, no one ever asks Donald Trump how it feels to be the boss or how it feels to be in charge of rich, high-level people. Or how it feels to be a dad and a boss. But I am asked in every interview."

And, if you come for pictures only, I will include one of those too :)
