"Oh, you're 'just' a mom" is the worst possible thing you could say to us.

We have superpowers.

Seriously. Trust us.

We've got multitasking down to a science.

Our bosses are WAY more demanding than yours.

But they're also a lot cuter.

We have our own definition of workplace politics.

The penalty for slacking on the job is severe.

Severely messy.

We're ineligible for workplace promotions.

Or bonuses.

In fact, the longer we work here, the emptier our wallets seem to be.

That said, the benefits are pretty fantastic.

Thankfully, our assistant knows when to step in and go "Venti."

This is what our office looks like.

This is what our happy hour looks like.

Things don't always go as planned.

But we roll with the punches (do we have any other choice?!).

And at the end of the day, we wouldn't trade it for any other job in the world.
