Remember my maternity leave? All snowy days, and naps, and cozy baby time? Now Adam is home with the girls, and it is more like this: His days are all swimsuits, and library trips, and parks. Playdates and errands and zoo trips. Lots of chalk. And sunscreen. And slides. Drying swimsuits hang on doorknobs and […]

June 20, 2013 by
I thought I’d said everything I needed to say about work in my 5 things I learned on my job search post, but I was left feeling incomplete. And I realized I wanted to write a bit about the experience from which I am moving on. I worked at the same place for nearly 12 […]
