• Is work-life balance with kids really possible?

    As a working mom of three kids I see "work-life balance" stories everywhere and tips on how to get there, but in real life I have yet to find anyone who's achieved this holy grail. What do you think, is it possible?

    Yes. It's possible to find a balance, but it takes a lot of work, patience and help from family and friends.

    No. There's no such thing as a true balance. The scales shift with each stage of work and family life.

    Possibly. It depends on how you define "balance." If everyone is generally healthy and happy, then I think we're headed in the right direction.

    I'm a stay-at-home mom but also work from home. I'm kinda old fashioned and believe in being home with my kids while they're still young.
