Tonight

I recently pulled some chili out of the freezer to serve for dinner this week. The label on the container said, "chicken chili. December 17, 2012." Yes, I had made chili while I was knee deep in nesting. But instead of enjoying it while home with a newborn, we eat it more than a year later. It was slightly weird to serve our son chili older than he was.

And also, timeouts have started in our house. Tonight was the third time. CB was playing with dog food, we said no, he wouldn't stop so he got put in timeout on the front rug. When a minute passed, we got him out, but soon went back to playing with the dog food again. We said no once, he started crying and crawled himself back to timeout. He knew. 

It was hilarious. 

Work-life balance still eludes many women

"The effort reflects a growing sense that, historically, most companies have done little to acknowledge that many women work two full-time jobs: one in the office and one at home."

Quick read highlighting a few perks offered by various companies to assist with women who have not one, but two, full-time jobs. 

Things that make me sad.

CB loves Kindermusik. Loves. It was one of the best memories I have from maternity leave.

What's wrong with this picture? (Hint: pretend you're a full-time working mom.)

Hope he has fun singing at Kindermusik with his nanny.

Sigh.
