Welcome

Welcome to Urban Mommies, a place for working mothers who are trying to figure out the best way to navigate the often treacherous waters between a successful career and a fulfilling personal life.

We are professional women who built our careers before building our families. We are exuberant mommies who are fanatical about our offspring and offspring-to-be. We are urbanites who relish the things our cities have to offer. We are wives who cherish the time we spend with our husbands. We are talented individuals who pursue a variety of hobbies and pastimes. And we are people without nearly enough time to do everything we want to do.

Urban Mommies exists so that we can talk about the issues we're facing as working mothers in the big city. Everyone here is strictly anonymous -- you think my mother actually named me Felicity Metropolitan? -- so every topic is fair game. We hope to hear your stories as well, and encourage you to comment early and often.

Again, welcome to Urban Mommies! We are planning to have a lot of fun, and hope you will too.
