Working Mom Breakthroughs

Posted on the 25 November 2014 by Classycareergirl @classycareer

I recently became a working mom and I have been documenting my tips to share with you all. Here are some breakthroughs I have had in the last five months since my daughter was born:

I can’t do it all. Delegate and get help.
Baby steps! Just make one new habit per week. Don’t try to be back to normal in one day.
Self-care is so important. Take care of yourself.
Get outside everyday. Go for a walk.
Prioritize your life. What’s not important get rid of it.
Get out of the house first thing in the morning otherwise you will still be in pajamas when your husband gets home at 5pm.
Figure out childcare before the baby comes.
Ask for help and then don’t worry about it.
Be creative with your schedule. You might have to work at different times than 9-5pm.
Baby is number 1. Let your work commitments go when he or she needs you.

What tips have you learned being a working mama?

P.S. Stay tuned for the next installment which includes my nursing tips for working mamas. I could probably write a book with everything I have learned but we will start with a little blog post first:)
