Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women.

Wordless Wednesday: Snow Day Fun

on
One of the benefits of maternity leave is being able to spend extra time with my other kids, even if that time is bleary eyed and sleep deprived. Today, is one of those days that I was extra grateful.  At 5:15 AM this morning, just as I was going to sleep because the new baby isn't too good at reading a clock just yet, I got a text message from my son's school saying that school was cancelled. The text lacked any explanation. In my sleep deprived state, I mistakenly believed that I had neglected to keep track of his calendar.
Then, 45 minutes later, because the gods like to mock me, our home phone rang informing me that our daughter's school was also cancelled because of "inclement weather". Although it was beyond annoying to be woken up, I was happy to know the reason school had been cancelled.

The kids and I spent the day, most of the day relaxing and enjoying one another. Then, I walked our daughter to a friend's house for a play date. As you can tell from the photos, she loved it! I am glad that I was there to experience her joy. And I will cherish these memories forever...
