The Big Day

November 18, 2010

Tomorrow is the big day – Gig Girl’s scheduled delivery day!  The day when Hubs, O and I finally get to meet the little boy creature that I’ve only been incubating for the past nine months…but have prayed for every day for the past 2.5 years. While I’m pretty sure that today is going to […]

FrankenCankles

November 10, 2010

These past two weeks, Gig Girl has taken a brief blogging reprieve.  In the final throes of my third trimester, I kept telling myself that I haven’t the energy, I haven’t the time and simply I haven’t experienced a single thing worthy of posting.  However, upon a little deeper introspection, I realized that I should […]

The Gig Gorilla

October 27, 2010

There are many things I love about where I live.  Technically a “city,” my home base offers all the conveniences of modern living while holding on to the quaint characteristics specific to many rural NH towns.  Yes, we have a Starbucks.  But, we also have foliage, wonderful neighbors and an array of indigenous wildlife.  Despite […]

The Sixth Grade Business Break Up

October 20, 2010

So, the Gig Girl has recently had opportunity to follow her own advice (don’t you just hate it when that happens?) As I mentioned in my Feast or Famine post, I’ve had a busy little stretch lately managing three individual clients.  Overall, I’ve had great and positive experiences with all of them.  However, one of […]

Initially, Gig Girl had only intended on having a two part series on things to take into consideration when building your Work At Home Mom (WAHM) business.  However, recent events have brought to light a few very critical, real life situations that I feel compelled to share: Get Good Great The Best Spyware: Gig Girl […]

The Worst Dessert: Humble Pie

October 6, 2010

Last week I wrote a blog piece about how completely unbearable (yes, pun intended) the onslaught of third trimester hormones have made me recently.  The piece was tongue in cheek to a certain extent, but of course, in each episode there was a kernel of grumpy truth. Apparently, God had decided I had gotten a […]

The Gig Grizzly

September 29, 2010

Gig Girl has a not-so-secret confession to make.  I’m opinionated, strong-willed and have a generous amount of feist sprinkled throughout my DNA.  This makes me, at times, and particularly with those I love most, a bit of a handful.  Under normal circumstances, these traits are often tempered by my sharpened (albeit sarcastic) sense of humor […]

Birthdays and Big Announcements

September 19, 2010

This past Friday was O’s 7th birthday and it also marked the 30th week of my pregnancy.  To commemorate both, the Hubs and I decided to do something  a little special in the House of Gig. When the Hubs and I found out we were pregnant, we discussed whether we’d would want to find out what […]

Things To Know When Building Your WAHM-dom: Part II

September 14, 2010

While really tempted to post about hitting my third trimester (yay!), O’s illustrious return to school and delight in all things 1st grade (yippee!!!) or the sudden onset of  severe prenatal nesting syndrome that has driven me to organizational extremes I never thought possible (the Hubs gives this one a huge thumbs up…I’m scattered by […]

Things To Know When Building Your WAHM-dom: Part I

September 8, 2010

I realized something last week – Gig Girl has not written about gigs in quite a long time!! Sure, I’ve had a lot going on these past few months that I’ve shared.  I am very thankful that I was able to write about puppies, pregnancies, perspectives and one ridiculously inappropriate infertility specialist. However, one of […]
