How do you decide if returning to work is really the right choice for you? Should you be a stay at home mom, working mom, or work from home mom? #sahm #workingmom #wahm #stayathomemom #workfromhome

In a world where we like to categorize things and people, the type of mom you are may mean a lot to you!

I’ve seen a meme going around Facebook that says something to the extent of “it’s hard to buy your mom a Christmas gift when she deserves an island, but all you can afford is a candle.” It makes me chuckle every time.
