Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Sleep Deprivation and the Working Mom...

on
According to a recent article in the ABA Journal lawyers are the second most sleep deprived profession.  As a mommy lawyer and blogger with a toddler who is committed to living life with a sense of style I think that I am even more sleep deprived than the average lawyer they reference.

My daughter is seventeen months. Based on my conversations with other parents, as far as sleeping goes, she is a dream. Still, I struggle with getting enough rest to feel satisfied.  When I sleep enough, I sacrifice my writing, my house looks a wreck, and I tend to live life with a little less style.  I am a witness that it is really hard to be stylish when things are in disarray. You just can't pull it off with the same panache when you know that you have a mountain of crap in your car, your desk can't be found and you're recycling underwear by turning them inside out.  (I've actually never done that one, but I learned about that trick from another mom. I guess we all have our own hygeine limits. Thank God, mine remains higher than that!)

Even though my daughter sleeps well, living the type of life I want to lead and accomplishing my goals has left me with a bit of a deficit in the sleep department.  Still, I am respectful of my body.  When I feel like things are becoming too much, my couch knows what to do.  It rocks me to sleep with my laptop on the side of me and I get my rest. 

So far, it has been a great Tuesday. Let me go though. There are miles to go before I sleep!
