Times are tough for everyone, but nothing trumps the physical and emotional toll of late-night fusses and feedings, sleep deprivation, frequent diaper changes and that seemingly ever-present belly flab.

How many times do you lay your head on the pillow only to beat yourself up about all the things you didn't get done or stress out on all the things you have to do?

We all need to work on getting in front of it. I don’t know about you, but being behind is one of my biggest stress causers. I am constantly feeling behind - In work, around the house, with my kids, you name it. Come on moms, don’t you feel like you are always rushing your kids out the door, only to find… Continue
