One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that.

Working Mom Pick Me Up #MondayMotivation

On top of the world!

Even though we celebrate our working mom journeys, sometimes we need a little inspiration. We often need that inspiration on Monday mornings when we may be ambivalent about returning to our workweek routines after the weekend.

Rather, it is something that provides for our bills, gives me the chance to use my skills and training, and also opens doors for my kids to have some awesome opportunities. In a word, I work where I do, doing what I do because my family is better for it, even with all of the sacrifices. Still, on Mondays, I often need a reminder and inspiration.

Below is a link to some quotes from some working moms about their journeys. It reminds me that we are all in this together! 

ENJOY!!!

Leave it to these badass working moms to keep it real
