Moms are often expected to do it all. They have full-time jobs, but also handle the majority of chores at home that keep the family running smoothly. As a working parent turned stay-at-home dad, I understand how difficult it can be to juggle family and career -- but it's possible, if you find the right balance.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom re-entering the workforce or a frazzled working mom seeking some relief, here are a few tips to reduce your stress and find some balance between work and home.
When you take time for yourself, you’ll actually be less stressed and more motivated while at work, and you’ll have time to recharge and rejuvenate so that you actually enjoy the time you spend with family.

There is no doubt that the lifestyle of a mom who also holds a full-time job is a challenging one. What’s important to remember is that you don’t have to feel rundown and overworked all the time. When you take some steps to insert balance into work and life, you’ll start to feel a lot better.
