Beyond the stress and difficulty of answering the question, “Who will take care of my baby when I go back to work?”, the real question for me was, “Why can’t I care for my baby?”

When another mom lets her guard down around me; when she lets me see her messy house, it is one of the sincerest forms of flattery.

You busy? I’m busy! We’re all SO busy. We, the relay team, save our real conversations for friends and family. 

The longer I'm a mother, the more I realize that my children really are paying attention to the things I do and say about myself.
