There's no denying the awesomeness of Michelle Obama. She's a fabulous wife, mother, daughter, sister, First Lady and is a bona fide fashion star. Thus striking the perfect balance between style and substance.
Is it possible to add anything to the discussion around work and motherhood without being bullied by other moms? My guess is no, but I'd like to share my story anyway. I love being a working mom, but I didn't always. For most of my kids' lives I'd been doubting my parenting choices, hoping they were empowering my kids, while secretly fearing I was causing them harm. I felt judged by other moms all the time. I was the single one with the startup, the mother who was always working... and that didn't seem to jive with other parents' expectations.

And then there's Liza Minnelli, in sequins.
