Work-Life Goodies
 

One of the biggest challenges working moms (and dads) face is "trying to do it all."  Whether it's getting dinner on the table (while coaching the kids through homework), dealing with a childcare emergency (when you've got a presentation at the office), finding time to network, or simply managing the day-to-day demands of keeping the family happy, fed and entertained; being a working mom takes skill, resources -- and an unending sense of humor. 

We'd love to treat each and everyone of you to a week at the spa.  But, until such time that is financially feasible, we've teamed up with some sponsors and pulled together some work-life goodies that you might find of interest.  Hope you find these useful!

Whether you need a gift for a co-worker who's just had a baby, a get-well package for your favorite Aunt Martha, or a last-minute gift for a child's birthday party, online shopping can be a working mom's best friend.  Here are some sites with especially cute things:

Charity Gift Certificates:  I love this idea!  You send your gift recipient a gift certificate good for a specific amount, and they get to choose one of 75 charities where they can "spend" the certificate in the form of a donation.  

Baby/Children's Gifts and Clothing:  I really get tired of all the "same old, same old" stores at the mall, so I am always on the lookout for sites that offer unique baby and children's gifts.  Here are some really cute options:

Luggage/Briefcases:  Who among us couldn't use help  better organizing our time, purses and work spaces?
