Mother's Day is an excellent time to go way out of the way to make stay-at-home moms feel special and loved. Full time mothers work hard every day of the year.

I tried to keep my suggestions "general" to include even moms working from home. That's a whole other balancing act because somehow you have to keep your kids occupied while doing things to make money - aside from everything else! Maybe sending them to sell lemonade on the sidewalk does the trick! :) Tauna, 12 hrs?! My shift is cake - I would crumble if I had to work like that! I'm sure you made everything work out! :) Connie – good point. I tried to keep my suggestions “general” to include even moms working from home.

Not sure how I balance it. Menus menus menus! Clean kitchen before bed! Often times I just sunk and hung out in survival mode. Now the family is raised.....and I wish I had my house full again.

Even though they may be able to see their children more often than if they worked outside the home, it can still be draining and a juggling act. Many times I felt and looked like that elephant on the ball. I never worked outside the home while my children were small, but did daycare, collating, painting rugs, ironing, phone surveys, and sold lemonade on the corner. No, wait, that was you! Where was I going with this? Time for my nap! I think it’s good to remember the working moms who work at home too.
