Before I jump into the heart of this post, let me share a bit about my personality and take on 'balancing life' --

I am a planner and love all things rhythm, routines and organization.

I also strongly advocate for finding a plan, a way to manage your days as a Mom.  Each of us is different, and thankfully we don't have to act like clones!  Yet, there is great value in learning and growing in our home/life/work management skills -- doing it all by the seat of our pants really isn't the best idea.

We'll overwhelm ourselves this way for sure.
