Hello! My name is Anne Marie Orlando and welcome to my blog: A Working Mom’s Guide. I am so excited that you have decided to join me on my journey through work-life, home-life and finding balance between the two.
Who am I?
I am forty-something YO mother of two and a fiance to Dana, who has been my rock for many, many years. Someday, we plan to get married but when choosing between a wedding or flooring- flooring won! Same with paying off our cars, new windows, tractor, well you get the picture. We have a bunny named Cash (as in Johnny Cash) and have a smallish backyard flock of hens led by Kyle (my roo).
I am an RN with an MBA who loves to make a difference in patients’ lives through management of people, supplies, and processes. I love to cook, eat, scrapbook, garden, can, shop and travel. I am especially smitten for office supplies, my planner (s), and “techy” things.
Why do I want to put myself out there?
Great question. Having raised my son and daughter during two completely different decades in time and in two completely different seasons of my life, I have a lot of reflections and thoughts to help finding the balance in life. I have always thought about having an outlet to share my stories, ideas, and experiences. I have thought about blogging for many years but it was something that just couldn’t fit into the day to day hustle and bustle.
About the blog:
The blog will be a place to talk about work-life and home-life issues therefore, the various topics are all designed to help you in your day to day. I hope to make this relevant, helpful and entertaining along the way!
Welcome to this journey!
