Evidence-based mothering




Ask me to screen capture the last two things I've been working on tonight and I'll show you a screen about how to scan using my relative new printer (1 month old), and this (above).

Ah, motherhood. Nothing else keeps you on your toes.

I talked to people about this, and they really think this is an investment really. That things will get better.   When I was asked to work for xxx, I even consulted wit Dr Axx. He said strategically it’s a no-brainer. The more prestigious school will take me further, in life’s trajectories. But Uxxx gave me a cubicle.
