We are giving “Weekend Reading” a break and trying out Saturday Morning Manna for a while. It just sounds better don’t you think? Usually I like to lay in bed on Saturday mornings and scroll through blogs and news that I have missed for the week. (Full disclosure: I either have to get up mega early to enjoy this quiet luxury or put my husband on Daddy Duty.) I suppose it’s the grown-up version of Saturday morning cartoons, which don’t exist anymore.

This is our last weekend before my daughter goes back to her halte-garderie. (It is like daycare/mother’s day out) I couldn’t be more ready for this! Seriously!! I love my little lady, but I’m sure I have complained before about how challenging it is to get work done when you’re a Stay At Home Working Mother. Impossible some days. And the guilt stinks when I have to plop her down in front of the Ipad while I write and respond to emails.

So we plan to spend the last weekend enjoying the end of the quiet Paris. How about you? Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your Saturday Morning Manna News of interesting links I have rounded up this past week and suggestions for weekend activities.

    Love your blog as usual! I can relate to having time to do the things that you need to get done and still work! You must be doing a wonderful job because your work is excellent. I thought the article about confidence was on point. Women have been treated like they are not entitled for so long ! We sometime pass this negativity to our daughters.. ( In which I repent). Like the ole adage states ” Its the hand that rocks the cradle that rules the world”
