I'm totally obsessed with "LIPSTICK JUNGLE" (if you haven't noticed already)! Since finishing the book, I had decided to watch the show (available on NBC.com) to get better acquainted with the series, and I'm hooked! They got me... hook, line & sinker! I can't wait until season 2 starts on September 24th (check local listings on NBC.com for details)! I know I can't stop talking about this book. It did not only inspire me... it's a driving force for me to be who I want to be & to continue doing all that my heart desires regardless of the time, effort & struggles that come along with trying to achieve your dreams. Plus the show has so many inspiring aspects (from fashion & decor to life & relationships), I can't help but watch! So stay tuned & be prepared for more future posts on "lipstick jungle"!

Who says you can't be a loving & nurturing mom & have a successful career? In this day and age, and with the economy being the way it is, most mom's (especially single ones... & dad's too), have to juggle work & family between the office, the home & school (& let's not forget... extra curricular activities). Even if I had the option to just "stay-at-home" and be by my child's side 24/7, I wouldn't. I enjoy doing things (mainly, many things simultaneously! I'm an excellent multi-tasker =D LOL) and keeping myself busy!
My sister & I live the same busy lifestyle. She & I do so much in our lives, we hardly have time to breathe. But we are not seeking awards, special privileges, or acknowledgment for our dedication to our careers & our families. We do what we do because we absolutely LOVE IT! When it comes down to the nitty gritty & we are running around doing errands during our lunch breaks & don't have the energy to wipe the sweat, we can't complain! Because at the end of the day, we know how lucky we are to be blessed with an amazing support system that includes family, friends & colleagues (not to mention, those cute little angels who call us "Mom"). Who says you can't have it all?
