My journey as a Working Mother
These are some blogs that I find particularly compelling and relevant to me personally. I trust that you will find something of interest in them as well.
I have always been a person of extremes.
I am a working mother. I used to work full-time, 5 days a week. I am a management consultant, which can be intense with client commitments and travel. But I also have children. Four of them. Big Bro (6), Red (4), and Twin Crazy and Twin Husky (3). For several years my quality of life significantly suffered and I hit the wall, hard.
I also try to live life versus life just happening to me. I initiated a change in role at my company of nine years, which enabled me to reduce my work-week and leverage flex-time so I can spend more quality time with my children. This transition has really helped my happiness. In December my husband filed for divorce so there will be more transitions in my immediate future.
This is my story. I'd like to share the complexities of managing my worlds of job and family. I'd like to hear from others facing similar challenges - the exhaustion and sometimes guilt, coupled with boundless joy and wonderment. I want to hear about the transitions that you have gone through, are going through now, and have learned from.
This blog is the first step what could be a life-changing project.

I just subscribed to your blog through a FB ad. So glad I found it! As a divorced, single Mom I can relate oh so well. I’m am now facing a new career, new step family and probable second marriage. The struggles between independent, working single Mom, hestitant and insecure future second wife and step mother weigh heavily. Finding an outlet where there are other women going through my experiences helps. Glad I found you!
Thank you for including me and M3 🙂

You are wonderful. I don’t know how you do it all (I’m sure you’ve heard that before). I enjoy your posts and honestly don’t know how you keep going with such frequency; kudos!!!!
