Intermingling these two demands is extremely tough and a daily struggle for most brave souls who attempt it. Running away from screaming children while on the portable phone while trying not to appear out of breath and professional, and above all, listening to the client while berating yourself for being such a bad, bad mother – typical at my house with my four children.
Leaving for Work Without a FUSS

As a mom, we make many decisions that affect our financial picture. Whether you choose to stay at home, work part time, or work full time, there are steps you can take to ensure financial success for your family.
