I’m always curious how other moms work at home AND take care of their small children. With a 14 month old, a 3.5 year old, and a very busy husband, working can be really difficult.

At this time a year ago, I was sitting in the hospital bed thinking I was going to deliver a baby really soon. Unbeknownst to me, I wouldn’t deliver him for another 14 hours and 3 epidurals later.
