Moms Make It Work

Ready for something different? Today I’m guest posting over at Julia’s blog, My Life in Transition She has been running a series for several months now called Moms Make It Work about what works for real moms from all kinds of different backgrounds. I’m excited to be participating, and excited to have my first-ever guest post on someone else’s blog, so head over there to read it!

And if you’re coming to my blog for the first time: welcome! My MMIW post gives a pretty darn good rundown of my life these days but if you want to know more about me, here are a few posts you might like:

• I mentioned that before my current job, I worked in Mission Control for the space shuttle for several years before the shuttle stopped flying in 2011. If you want to hear more about what it’s like to work in Mission Control, read this.

• A lot of people at NASA have wanted to work in the space program since they were small kids, but that actually wasn’t the case for me! If you want to hear more about how I got interested in space and how I got my job with NASA, read this.

• I’ve always liked art and crafts, but took things to a new level a few years ago when I learned to sew. If you want to check out some of the quilts and other things I’ve made, you can find them here.

• I recently finished a Master’s degree in Digital Media Studies and made a series of posters featuring cool space probes and satellites for my capstone project. You can find all 15 of them under the “master’s project” tag.

• If you like birth stories, you can read Emma’s here: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

• I mentioned in my guest post that I’ve been blogging for nearly 2 decades which is both crazy and awesome. Two years ago when I was late in my pregnancy, I shared some thoughts on blogging in general that you might enjoy.

• I’ve done a lot of running and triathlons over the years. If you want to read about any of those races, including the half ironman I did in 2007 and the marathon I did in 2005 (yikes, so long ago!), you can find the list here.

Thanks for stopping by!
