Balancing Motherhood and Self-Care

Did you know that mommy ducks build their nests with feathers they pluck from their chests? Neither did I, but it makes sense.

  Do you yearn to return to school? It is very possible. If I could do it, so can you. Six years ago, I devised a list of all the reasons I couldn’t go back to school. My list was solid, and I had a comeback for anyone that tried to challenge it. I have…
