Building Your A-Team at Home

How did you handle the siege on the US Capital, did you talk to your kids if young or older children. When it was happen there was a buzz on my MS Teams with my colleagues. We were all scared, thought it was a bad dream. We supported each other through our virtual work sessions . All we could do was watch the TV and some of us had to turn it off to try and deal with it emotionally. Here is an article I came across.

Working mom starting a new job
Hey all! Any moms that are doing the whole "working while parenting" and started a new job this year?
I'll be at a new company in Jan and I'm a bit anxious about it! The company does seem flexible and my new boss also has kids. Just wondering if anyone has tips on how they made the transition smoother?
It's hard working while watching my toddler, but I've made it work somehow. Part of me thinks this is the worst...More...

Have you ever come away from engaging with your child or, indeed, another adult, wondering, “What planet are they on?”

While I am able to...More...

Financial Support for Adult Children
We have two adult sons. One is 36 with family and they have always struggled financially. Whenever they can't pay rent or the lights, water, phone, cable, etc are going to be turned off I am his first call. I know they appreciate the help and they always say so but we are now in the final 7 years of employment before retiring and need to save all we can. Since we are self-employed we don't have a retirement...More...
On-Site Childcare
Has anyone found a comprehensive list of companies that offer on-site childcare? A google search identifies the Fortune 100s that offer on-site but I suspect others offer this benny too. Maybe it's that I'm new to FairyGodBoss but I can't find a good way to pull this information without hunting and pecking on individual company profiles. Thanks!

It’s not honorable to put everyone else before you. Your family (and work) need you to be well.
So, let me share a few EASY ways to practice self-care (and discover more about yourself at the same time):
