As women and especially as moms, we put pressure on ourselves to be everything to everyone.
Day by day, I strive to be the "perfect" mommy - the one who reads the books and follows the rules. And the happy mommy - the one who enjoys everything about raising a little one and finds time for lots of smiles. And the working mommy - the one who holds a job and gets paid, while caring for and loving her family.
Sometimes one or two of these "mommies" have to take the back seat while the other one gets priority. I am still learning each day how to find better balance so I can succeed as a mom, a wife, and in my career.
Now, read on! Hope you enjoy it.
