About me

Introduction	Michelle and Beth have been best friends since freshman of college in 1997. Over the past couple years, their friendship entered a new chapter as they both became “Mommies.” This, however, is where the similarity ends as each have pursued “mommyhood” in totally different ways. Beth is a former teacher and a stay at home mom of two girls: Abby, 4, and Lily, 2. Michelle is the managing director of a consulting group and a working mom of one boy Jimmy, 2. Michelle and Beth frequently discuss with each other the struggles of being a mom – each from their own perspectives. Michelle, despite loving her job, many times expresses her wish to spend more time with her son. Beth, despite loving being home with her girls, many times expresses her desire to have more “adult time” in her day. The more they discussed these issues with each other and with other working and stay at home moms, the more they realized what a common everyday struggle this is for all moms. This blog is to share those thoughts from both sides because at the end of the day, we as moms are all just looking for some balance in our lives.
