Just think of how many choices you make in a day: you choose what clothes to wear (sexy dress or Mom jeans…hmmm…)… what food to put in your body (trust me, body, you’ll thank me for choosing spinach instead of ice cream someday)… what music to listen to (when in doubt, disco never lets me […]
Your Story Ain’t My Story
I am an entrepreneur. Who has also been a stay-at-home mom. I consider myself blessed to have had both opportunities, and to relate to women who choose both paths.
