I just returned home after spending an evening with a few of my fabulous friends, who also happen to be fabulous mothers. On this Mothers’ Day eve, it seems fitting that we spent our time discussing the constant juggle of our family lives, our work live and ourselves. I feel truly blessed to know so many wonderful women who make it look easy to everyone else, but who work so hard every day to find that elusive balance between calm and insanity.

I leave you with a couple of recent photos that remind me why I work so hard to try and be the best mother I can be.

And of course the man who obviously supplied about 75% of the genes, and who helps me stay sane on those days when it all seems so hard.
