They Call Me “Mommy”
A Mother’s Job Description I must admit that before kids I thought I could do anything. I could juggle multiple projects, meet deadlines, stay organized and work ahead of schedule with enthusiasm and ease. Little did I know that being a Stay-at-Home Mom would change my perspective on what it meant to be “busy”. Although…
