About

Here at Metro Moms, we’re all about giving you information and resources to benefit you as a parent and a professional. This corner of Metro Moms – “Metro Fiction” – is dedicated to giving you a little oasis. Every other Sunday we will bring you a special selection of short fiction. Stop by, fix a cup of tea, and relax a spell. Perhaps five minutes will lead to 10. And 10 could lead to a habit. A good habit of scheduling some “me” time in every day.
