There is never enough time in the day. Truly. Every mother knows this. I feel I am living this like never before. My days are packed. Jam packed. I go from work to school many days; no break in between. On these long days, I don’t see my kids except for the short time in the morning as we are all getting ready.
Most days I don’t have the luxury of staying late at work. Even if I really need to stay, I have to politely excuse myself from meetings so that I can run out the door and fight traffic to get to my children’s school for pick up. Minutes can make the difference of getting there on time or being late. It’s a constant struggle for all working parents. I feel for people who work at jobs that do not offer any flexibility when it comes to balancing work and family life. Doctors appointments, school plays, teacher conferences, they all take time. With flexible schedules, parents can find the right mix of being at the office, important family activities and still be a productive employee.

Victoria Kann has a new installment in her Pinkalicious series: Emeraldalicious. In this version Pinkalicious realizes the beauty in being green!
As Pinkalicious and her brother Peter stroll through a park, Pinkalicious falls and breaks her wand. They make a new one with flowers, vines and a stick, but the new wand flies out of Pinkalicious’ hand. As they chase the wand, it leads them to a dirty, trash dump. It is here where they realize the power of love and how it can change things. Dirty trash gets transformed into beautiful things and flowers begin to grow.
As the other Pinkalicious books, this one is beautifully illustrated and enjoyable to read. It goes on sale January 29 and will be a great read as we prepare for spring.

As so many of us look at our resolutions and see how we plan to accomplish, how many think it’s too hard? Two weeks into the new year and we’re already giving up on our goals that we set. It’s hard to maintain strong goals, especially if they are not rooted in your overall life goals or were not fully thought through.
Have you considered chronicling your thoughts in a journal? Something that’s so simple can be such a guide to people. Franky, writing down thoughts, ideas, inspirations and goals is something I simply can’t live without. It’s not what I write — that’s gibberish. It’s the process of focusing my find. It makes me realize there is an overarching goal for my life. Every day is just part of that journey.
