When I first heard about Mika Brzezinski's book, “All Things at Once,” (Weinstein Books, 2009), I was excited to read a book by a working mom who claims to have found a way to balance home and a very public, very demanding professional life. The flap copy sold me: “...Mika Brzezinski's illuminating book shows us all how to reach our full potential in all areas of life, at every stage of the journey.” Count me in!

I’ve been a little absent from Parenting Squad because a little career boost sent me away from my usual routine. My unpublished short story collection won a very cool award. Yay! I had to leave the family behind a few days. There is nothing that more physically addresses a mom trying to have a career than a few days apart from the children.
