NEW JOB!

Today, Monday January 4th (is my best friend Meredith's birthday), but it is also a brand new day and chapter in my life and the lives of Eric, Carson & Dean.

I am officially a STAY-AT-HOME MOM!

I gave my notice right before the holidays and today is the day. I could write a million words on the back and forth of this decision, but for those of you who are mothers, you understand. Part of you wants to be home full-time, part of you actually enjoys your job and wants to be there, the financial sacrifices etc etc etc. The economy finally caught up with my company and I feel like I am stepping away at a good time. I am very grateful to have Eric's 110% support and encouragement. My kids are only young once and I want to see and do everything with them. I just couldn't get the thought out of my head, having someone else tell me they took their first step or this or that. Carson and Dean had a terrific nanny! (Natalie, if you're reading this, we miss you and good luck with the new job)! So, this was never about us worrying about the care they were receiving, but more for me to have no regrets later on in life about missing out. With that, my suits are hung and tucked away. Bring on the sneakers and scrunchies!!!! In all honesty, I am very much a career oriented person. I am embracing this opportunity and time with my children. I have many ideas and plans for myself professionally in the future and will absolutely pursue those, when the time is right.

Sincerely,

Lauren Margulies
COO of Margulies Incorporated
