Just Another Mom Headed Back to Work

Here goes nothing! I officially returned to work two weeks ago, but it was part-time. Next week will be my first week back as full-time. After 13 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of part-time work I am both excited and hesitant about what lies ahead.  I'm going to miss going to yogababy story time at the Ballard library, and meeting with my PEPS group every Thursday. New opportunities and activities abound, I'm just not sure what they are. I want to be able to maximize my hours and days with my son and husband as I begin to juggle work-life as so many other women are currently doing. Wish me luck.


What types of activities do other working moms? How do you find time to connect with others in your same place in life?

Welcome to My Obligatory First Blog Post

Wow! It has been a busy year. I wrapped up my residency, got my first article published as first author, started my dream job, moved AND had a baby. I have traded one type of crazy, no time for anything lifestyle for another. In the spirit of new beginnings I thought I would also start a blog. This blog has no "theme" in particular - it's just another blog about life. I'm excited to catalog my new journeys and put them out into the world. Bear with me here, as it has been quite some time since I dabbled in "creative" writing as opposed to scientific writing.

Thanks for reading - stay tuned for more to come.
