Reading on the Run: A Resource for Busy Women!

Successful working women keep track of important matters in the news. However, we are not one-dimensional. Some of us also want to keep up with celebrity gossip and fashion news too. Even in the era of the Internet and 24 hour news shows and E! it can be challenging to keep up with everything.

Also, for the working moms we also like to stay abreast of the parenting best practices, work/life balance techniques, and hear tales from other working moms that help us feel less guilty about how much time we spend away from our children everyday.

As much as we hunger for information and need that information, we often lack the time to keep up with it.

For that reason, with the able assistance of my intern, I have decided to include another standard post that will run a list of articles of interest to working women. I will be your trusted filter for information. And instead of mindlessly perusing the Internet looking for articles, you can scan the articles posted here knowing that they are relevant and informative.

The posts will run under the title, "Reading on the Run". Check out our first edition, and stay tuned for more!

Until next time, enjoy your world!
