When I was a television reporter, they taught us not to “bury the lead” so I’ll get right to it: I won’t be updating this blog anymore (at least for now) and have moved all the content to my main blog, AngieMizzell.com.
Why?
My main goal is to tell stories that inspire. This summer I have hit my stride with the book I am writing, and I want to keep all my energy flowing in the same direction and all my blog …

I’m a wife, mother, writer, para-educator, Sci-Fi geek and avoider of housework living in Scottsdale, Arizona. Like most busy working moms, I’m forever trying to find balance between resisting the urge to scream at my teenage sons and successfully getting all the dog hair off my clothes. (Regular happy hour attendance with my husband helps.) I’m currently on summer break from the school district and about to dive into a big revision of my first …

There’s a great new website started and operated by some of my favorite movers and shakers here in Charleston, SC. When you have a moment, check out NewbyMom.com. And a special thanks to Angela May for interviewing me on the site.
In the interview, I give my perspective on being a flawed and fabulous mom: Quitting my big career, becoming self-employed and the neverending quest for balance. Click here to read it.

I’m a busy mom of three boys. With my first two children I took a year-long maternity leave (don’t hate me – I’m Canadian!) then went back to full-time work as a legal assistant/paralegal. After my third son, I decided to tackle being a work-at-home mom and so my virtual legal assistant practice was born. My house never gets really clean – but I have an excuse to be on my laptop or iPhone all …

Since I have two boys, I thought I would be spared. You know– from the eye rolling and exasperated sighs I thought (incorrectly) only girls were famous for. And even with girls, I didn’t think it started until the tween years.
My son is four. And I’m already getting it.
Scene One:
Me: Would you like goldfish or an apple for a snack?
Son: Apple! I already said that!
Scene Two:
Me: Do you need to go potty?
Son: I already went potty. Why do you keep …

Life is such an adventure to me. I think if it wasn’t, I’d be bored!
I’m a mom (of one beautiful baby boy, Liam), and a wife, and a WAHM! That alone gives me 50 hats to wear in a day! Again, wouldn’t trade it for the world. I left corporate America because I didn’t want to miss a step in my son’s life. And yes, I walked away from some BIG money. And truthfully, sometimes, I want to slap myself, but I have no …

The irony of this blog is that we’re pretty darn super. We are not perfect. We can’t do it all. But each of us has strengths, gifts and talents… and when you put them together amazing things can happen.
To the ladies in these photos (and the ones who didn’t make it into these shots because you were running around), I want to say thank you.

This past weekend, I saw what happens when women support one another. You can read more …

Hi there. I’m Lurenda, but you can call me Lu. I’m a working mom who has spent way too much time trying to find the perfect balance, which I’m beginning to learn is about as possible as finding the Holy Grail. I’ve been married to Ben for more than seven years. Together we are Mommy and Daddy to J.K., the sometimes fabulous, oftentimes crazy, 2-year-old, sweet baby Chelsea, due to make her grand debut in June, and …

I am a work from home mother to three daughters all born within four years. (Yes, I know where babies come from.) I am a blogger, self-syndicated humor columnist, Christian speaker and writer represented by Jenny Bent of The Bent Agency.
My first book “Deep Fried Décolletage: Boob Sweat and other Maladies Maternal and Mammary,” is a collection of non-fiction humor based on my real life parenting experiences including trying to be hip and open with my 2-year-old by telling her …
