What a beautiful way to remind us that we’re all part of the fabric of families. And work life matters for every single one of us.

Thanks Kami – I appreciate the good thoughts and support. I’m very fortunate to have this little one in my life. This is a big week. I get a car seat this month of my own as her daddy is out of town. I don’t pretend to know motherhood, but the taste of it has added enormously to my life and will for the rest of my life.

I’m so glad you found SavvyAuntie.com. There’s something so validating to stumbling upon a community of people who are living your same experience. Or at least one that’s similar. Your “niece” is a lucky little girl to have a village of people around her who love her and care for her so much. And her mom is so very fortunate to have people close to her that she can fall back on/include in this child’s life. And you are fortunate too, Judy. What a gift to be able share your life with a child in this way! It’s a very special situation you are describing and one that really brings an important perspective to our whole work/life discussion. Because raising children really does take a village. Even though we convince ourselves that we can go it alone.
