Dear Jamie,
Please write about work-life balance. How do you combine an academic career with the demands of a large family?
Signed,
Curious
Dear Curious,
How do I do it? Badly, that's how.
Yours in end-of-the-semester frazzletation,
Jamie

Welcome
- Welcome to my blog, where I mostly natter on about my life with five kids. Occasionally (not very often, because teenagers keep a person humble) I dispense parenting advice. Occasionally I write about other things, like faith or food or my secret strategy for dealing with annoying kid behavior or whether I am fit to be a mother. Also: who is the mystery intruder? And: does stay-at-home mothering rot the brain? If you are worried about slow weight gain in a breastfed baby, this is my most-viewed post — hope it's helpful to you. Want to read more? I have some favorite posts linked here.
Ha! Me, too. Which is why I always laugh (ok, bitterly, but still laughing) when I can never find time to go to the "work/life balance" workshops my school periodically schedules.

If you were a modern blogger, you'd rebrand this space and retitle it "Badly but Gladly."
I appreciate you keeping it real.
