Most working mothers wish they were working part time rather than full time. The reason is obvious: the time it takes to handle everything else in our lives (children, houses, chores). Here, a few tips to help you save time even if you lead a hectic life.
Are you worth it? I don’t mean L'Oreal Preference hair dye worth it. There are plenty of women who spend the big bucks on hair, nails, massages, clothes and shoes.

Want Better Health Care? Look at Women's Businesses
Your post is directly on topic as input to a widely useful systemic leverage opportunity. I?m very glad to see the healthcare thinking in women-led businesses. You?ve outlined ideas that connect with work by thought leaders with whom I?ve been teaming on a healthcare project aimed at self-insured employers (private and public) and transfer payment agencies. Thank you!

Hi Tonya, I agree completely! It's great to be at home, and it's wonderful that you found a solution for not having quite as much time as you needed. I think one of the hardest parts about being a work at home mom is that we sometimes feel we shouldn't have to ask for help (after all, our idea is we want to work from home AND be with our children). A lot of working at home moms feel guilt about getting help if they need it - but it can make the world of difference sometimes! Glad to hear that it is working out for you.
Thanks for visiting!
