Mothers have been looking for the middle ground for more than half a century. Staying at home and raising the kids full-time isn’t it. Working full-time and rushing home to tuck the kids in at 7 p.m. sharp ain’t it either. Even part-time work outside the house can be a scramble for most women, as they try to “have it all” between 9 am and 5 pm. To work or not to work? That seems to be the bottom-line question for most women today.

But, we believe that equation is changing. In fact, we’re living proof of that change. We’re telling you all this not because we enjoy tooting our own horns, but because writing it down makes it real for us. And we honestly believe that other moms can do the same.
