A smart phone with calendar apps, to-do lists and Toca Boca games. A commute that starts with the Frozen soundtrack and ends with Ted Talks podcasts. A brain filled with goals and objectives and a heart filled with morning kisses and afternoon smiles. This is what daily life looks like for working moms. When we […]
