Welcome! And Happy Mother’s Day. Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit Making it Work, a blog that’s all about real parents who work real jobs and how they are doing their best to keep it together.

Women who Make it Work, the backbone of this blog, is a series of profiles on mothers who work in a variety of jobs. From the traditional 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. corporate world, to the pressure cooker atmosphere of criminal law, every mom has a story to tell. Our first profile will be posted on Wednesday.

Coming soon, Dad’s Take is a video series that tries to bridge the communication gap between moms and dads. If nothing else, it will be entertaining!

Start your week with Monday Momspiration, a short, weekly post about the emotional roller coaster working mothers deal with on a regular (sometimes hourly!) basis. Read Mom’s Night Out for a gossip session about daycare, pediatricians, mommy guilt or whatever currently is bugging you. Check back throughout the week for posts about career, home life and everything in between.

Enjoy!
