Great Big Shout Out...

To full-time working Moms. I thinks all Moms work their butts off, don't get me wrong, but this week I got a glimpse into life as a full time working mom, and it was NUTS! I was gone for 4 days, working at least 12 hours a day, and came back exhausted. Totally forgot to take dinner to a friend with a new baby, and have had to nap every day since I got back. For those of you who do this all the time...I am in awe. Hoping that The Queen City Buzz can take one thing off your to-do list by finding FUN for your family.

Blessings,
The Buzz
