You would be surprised to learn how many people make it to HMWW by searching “hip laptop bags” and seeing a link on Google to this previous post of mine. For me, this only confirms what I have always believed – there is a piss poor selection of laptop bags out there for women. There [...]
I’m addicted to Ziploc bags. I use them all of the time. And, every morning my kids each get 3 Ziplocs (2 snack size, 1 sandwich size) packed into their respective lunch boxes. It takes petroleum to produce the baggies. They are not biodegrable, and when they do break down they leach harmful chemicals into [...]
Wow. Ever since the holidays I’ve been suffering from blogger’s block. All of the sudden, I have all of these ideas of things to share with you. I’ve having a blogger hormone surge (or maybe it’s the 3 shots of espresso?) and am going to shoot my wad! I plan on giving you not one, [...]
There are changes happening at Hip Moms Who Work in 2009. The biggest of which is an all-new custom blog design. I’m really excited. I have been on the waiting list at Delicious Design Studio since September. I know it’ll be worth the wait, though. I love Jess’ designs. I just have a couple of [...]
I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to write a really good HMWW first post of 2009. Do I pontificate about the uselessness of New Year’s Resolutions? Should I list links to websites and products that help us lose weight, organize, better manage our time (you know, for all of those useless resolutions)? [...]

And the responses are pretty different from one another. My kids and I were totally [...]
The votes are in and WHITE COSMO has won with 71% of the vote. Thanks to all of you who cast your ballot and helped me make this highly important decision. And, thanks to those who also suggested other drinks. I want to try the Ginger Bling and the Chocolate Martini with crushed chocolate-covered toffee [...]
Finally, an organizational system for my life. I better order a couple pallets of these… Knock Knock Crap File Folders. 6 for $10.50 at Paper Source. Thank you Elaina from Fun Finds for Mom for bringing these to my attention. She knows me far too well.
Hope you had a great Thanskgiving and enjoyed the glorious, long, much-deserved and well-overdue, four-day weekend! Today is Cyber Monday - the biggest online shopping day of the year…because online shopping is so much better than working on your first day back after a long weekend. To aid you in your effort to avoid working today, I [...]
