Working Mom Daily Bread 

Helen Jonsen

Daily Bread is the stuff of life, thoughts ideas and comments from the desktop of workingmother.com's editor - me. I am the mother of 4, from ages 12 to 21. As a journalist, from broadcasting to the web, I have had a kaleidoscope career in media, which has often changed depending on the ages and needs of my family. Let's engage in a conversation about life-work-family balance. Even with all my experience, i still struggle with that everyday! Follow me on twitter at WorkingMotherHJ
