how to start my newest writing project. Being a Catholic mother who works outside of the home has generated interest in writing possibly an article maybe something longer about mom's in my situation. I struggled with going back to work. I wanted nothing more than to stay home with my daughter. But as I've said before, no matter how we ran the numbers, we would be homeless if I did.
I have to wonder, how do other moms do it? I am reminded of a wonderful pediatrician who was a member of our parish growing up in Raleigh. She had three children and worked still as a doctor. Her healing hands were meant to not just be known by her children but by the children of others who she saw in her practice. Being a doctor was another vocation along with being a mother. So, if you know any moms who are Catholic and work outside of the home, send them over to my blog and I will see what I can do to get in touch with them.

Hello! I visited your blog once just after your beautiful daughter was born, but haven't been back in a while. She's getting so big!
Regarding working mothers, I am fortunate enough to have a job that allows excellent flexibility. I am a postpartum nurse, and I split night shifts with one of my co-workers... which means that I work either from 7pm-1am or 1am-7am. It's perfect for me because it's only six hours, my husband is home with the kids while I'm gone, and I only have to work about six times a month. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I had to work during the day. I really admire women who are able to successfully juggle jobs outside the home and their duties as wife and mother! I wish you the best!
OH! And by the way...my kids and I LOVE the song "Rainbow Connection"! It's one that I've sung to them every night from the time they were babies, and both my older kids can sing the whole thing on their own. TOO CUTE!!!
