It is a daily challenge to find the balance of SAHM work (changing diapers, preparing food, folding laundry, making baby food, making adult food, entertaining little one, cleaning [ha!], managing the household) and continuing the love affair between Momma and Baby.

I hear over and over: Parenting is the hardest job you'll ever love. It's true. And I think this article explains that statement perfectly.
