Wonderful goals! As for me: I’m just trying to remember to floss 3 times a day…hehe.

Great tips. I’ve been all over #1 for a while, even though I am still on a secret quest to rid myself of the back fat, lol. Who will you catch at the beach in a too piece running from the waves with her daughter? ME! =)

Ok, I’m grinning from ear to ear!
Well, I’m already 31 and I’m not even going to talk about 40, ok.
These are star tips and the one that really stuck out for me is no. 4. This may sound selfish, but my best friend once said if Mommy isn’t happy, no one is. I so agree! It’s almost like saying Mommy comes first. As bad as that may sound, putting yourself first will ensure that you run the household smoothly, that your 100% available mentally for homework help, that you have enough energy to run after and laugh with your toddler when she runs away from getting her diaper changed, so you can cook a healthy meal instead of relying on processed boxed foods becuause it’s quicker. Putting yourself first, making sure you’re well rested will help you balance career and family. Get your girl time too! Make sure you take a little break every now and then from being Mommy. Go to the cafe and curl up with a magazine, get a pedicure, do somehthing you like so you can come back reenergized and ready to take on mommyhood and the world.

I’m definitely loving this post! Being on the other side of 30 (at age 31), I can give a “here here!” for the tips you’ve given. If we can employ at least 6 of the 9 tips (especially #8), we’d be well on our way to finding our stride and embracing the imbalance of working motherhood!
