There are so many things in life that require balance. Work and play. Exercise and rest.

The one that probably brings most of us here though is trying to find a good balance between being a Mom and working from home. It is by far the hardest job that I have ever done. And I know that I am far from mastering it. It seems like every day and every year there are changes that I have to learn how to deal with.

What exactly is a good balance though? Is it dividing up the hours in the day and giving equal time to both your kids and your career? Is it making sure that your mom to do list and your work to do list have the same amount of tasks?

Honestly I think it this is such a personal answer. What works for one family will not work for another. Some moms have children that are in school for five hours a day and are able to devote themselves entirely to their children when they are not.

Others are the sole caregiver to their children during the day and have to squeeze work projects in on top of that. Their children may have more time devoted to them rather than work.

I think that the answer is finding what works for your family. There are no wrong answers and one versus the other does not make you a bad mother or a better WAHM.

You have to decide if being a huge success means less time with your children will work for your family. Or on the flip side maybe spending more time with your children and earning less makes you happy.

As your children get older their needs change as well. What worked when they were 3-years-old will probably not work when they are 5.

What is a good balance in your life? Does it change for you?

Warmly,
