3 Tiny Tyrants

By Rebecca Maguire

Rebecca Maguire spent nearly 8 years as a SAHM, and is now the President of Maguire Media Group, LLC. (www.maguiremediagroup.com). Combining her experiences as a "mommy extraordinaire" with her writing skills has been a natural progression of both professions.

I am fresh of a much needed mini-vacation...nothing but kids, fun in the sun and a few glasses of good wine. The cure for ALL that ever ails me! Today I am left facing a mini-mountain of paperwork, 800 million emails and the nagging thought that I am forgetti ... Read more...
This week, I attended my first networking function. Hosted by Middleburg Women, it featured an incredible lineup of speakers...the topic, "Women in Media - Striking the Balance" really sounded appealing. So I went. < ... Read more...
To My Dad: Today I thank you for working hard to provide for braces, prom dresses and perms, enduring the estrogen fest that is ages 13-21, letting me drive the sedan so the minivan didn't ruin my rep, that wad of cash you handed me so I didn't leave for ... Read more...
Well....here we are, the 2nd Friday of the month - which in my book, qualifiies as the BEST day of every month (birthdays and anniversaries not withstanding.) I'll be you can guess what night it is!!  That's right...its Moms Night Out! ... Read more...
As my oldest prepares to leave first grade in her rearview two weeks from today - I am reminded of how all 3 tyrants will soon have lots of time on their hands...and will make extreme haste driving mommy bananas. Soon, most of my hou ... Read more...
