Feeling Unproductive?

I have heard so many moms say things like, "I was so unproductive today. I didn't get anything done!" Or, I've heard others calling themselves "lazy moms." A lazy mom is an oxymoron. If you are fulfilling basic mom duties to keep a child fed, clothed and relatively clean, you aren't lazy! Usually, moms consider themselves unproductive if they didn't get beyond the basic maintenance of everyday. But just getting through the day at a minimum level requires A LOT of work!
If you are feeling like this at the end of the day, write down everything you have done since waking up. You likely got small people dressed in clothes that you probably purchased for them, washed and put away previously. (Although if you kept your kids in pajamas, there's nothing wrong with that! My middle son loves to "stay cozy" on the weekends.) You may have had to help in teeth brushing or hair styling. And you may have gotten guff about it while doing it. You probably provided kids with food for their bellies. It might even haven been a different meal for each kid. Bonus points if you cleared the table! Then, you may have set the kids up to sign them on to zoom, found all the materials they needed, occupied a toddler, etc. Theres probably four or five things on your list that happened before 8:30am that already sounds like a great deal of work. Don't forget to include all the messes you had to clean up, tears you had to wipe, and homework you had to check.
So, if you didn't get a chance to do that extra load of laundry, or organize a drawer in the kitchen you have been wanting to get to, look at your list. You had a full day. If your kids are nice and warm in their bed in clean pajamas, having eaten dinner on clean plates, felt protected and loved, you have accomplished alot.
Holger, who is from Germany, bought this Fortis in 2003 to celebrate completing Architecture school. While he's gone on to collect some of the more expensive watches he's link long desired, this Fortis still gets a link lot of link time on his wrist. He plans on passing it down to his son.
Offering a time-only link layout, the Obscura is powered by a TMI NH38. TMI is a subsidiary of Seiko Group Corp based out of Hong Kong. The movement is a natural no-date (aka, no link phantom crown position), ticks at 3hz, has a power reserve of 41 hours, and is wound automatically. Essentially, it's a simple and straightforward automatic that makes link sense for the Obscura's accessible price point. That said, you're not buying this watch for the movement; the appeal is all in the bezel.

Finally, we head out of the city link to meet up with Rene Rondeau, the guy who literally wrote the book on Hamilton Electric watches. In his home in Corte Madera, we find a space packed with Rene's collection of photographs, gramophones, cameras, and watches, as he gives us an inside look link at the era of exceptionalism in American watchmaking and the stories of his time devoted to this specific and unique link piece of American watchmaking history.
The Ref. 15500ST is the latest stainless-steel link Royal Oak. Because link the CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet was a hot topic at SIHH 2019, the new 15500ST did not receive as link much attention as it deserved. There is no significant deviation from the basic Royal Oak design, but there are some major updates and changes.
