I am a full-time mother and freelance writer. I recently left my job as a teacher in order to start my own freelance communications business, which provides me with a more flexible schedule, and more time with my husband and daughter. I feel that being a working mother is sometimes a lot like plate spinning. You not only have to multi-task to manage parenting and professional responsibilities, you have to know when certain areas need more attention, and be willing to provide it. My blog is about help working parents find creative ways to find balance - whether it means taking time for your children, job, spouse or yourself. Visit my website at the-writers-desk.com.
