So I am the worst blogger in the world when it comes to this one. Sure, I blog and write for a living, but when it comes to updating you all on my new life as a mother I just never seem to make the time.

I’d have you thinking that my life is so glamorous — days full of spinning classes, expensive client lunches at some smug fusion-y San Francisco restaurant, jogging in the park, pedicures and facials. But honestly, the hours merely comprise of long conference calls, email volleys, some finance writing, traffic, breast-pumping, poop cleaning, cooking and gibberish talking with my new little girlfriend.

All this makes for one haggard working mommy by the time little one is in bed.

But whatever — that’s no excuse. What I want to do with this blog now is discuss life as a working mother. A) That’s pretty much all I know right now;  B) Anything else requires too much brain power that my sluggish mind can’t handle for at least a few more months; and C) online mommies are the coolest and I hope to meet more of you via common interests and life experiences.
