Posted in Inspiration when necessary by

As a working mother who is just starting out in her career, I constantly find myself worrying about balancing everything and avoiding failures. I mean, I have a family to support and an awesome two-year old to raise. This blog post from LADYROMP was just what I needed today to remind myself that I may not get it right the first time, but I will get it right if I stay the course.
