What are some resources you use to balance your life? Between parenting and career.

I use nannies to help me. I homeschool my 3 girls so I have a teaching nanny who helps them with their schoolwork while the other nanny is with them after school. I own my own companies so they are a big help when I have to travel with them for business. Mondays through Thursdays they have school and Fridays are for fun and field trips that I get to be a part of. Plus, traveling to other countries is something to share with them.

I am just entering into single motherhood even thought I have been so in the past its been 14 years(the length of my marriage) that I have traveled down this road. I am nervous as though I haven' t done it before but it is different as I have an Autistic child in tow that requires much more care. I am moving to a new area the Lowell Massachusetts area where I will be without family and friends. Its funny I was basically a single Mama while married but at least I had my significant other to keep an eye on my little guy while I stepped out with family and friends to do small self care when I could fit it in.(lol) now things that would be free I am looking at finding a trusting person to babysit my guy while I enter into the single life again. (smile) and I am acting like I am new to this I suppose that I am just a little nervous and rusty. I will make sure that I have a consistant sitter for my limited outings but for my out of town travels it makes me sad that those days may be limited or ending depending on my new situation as I am moving where I do not know anyone well I know one person but we are not on that level of babysitting as of yet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help this Mama keep a sane head? Look forward to your feed back~ One Love

Hi Geanita, just remain humble a new atmosphere without family is very scary being we are used to support from our family. Being you will be moving to a new area, search for good nannies conduct background checks and call references. I will also suggest joining more mommie groups in your area to get references. Try meet up.com and select your city also if you have Facebook add Black moms connect, I'm part of these groups and have met some amazing mothers. Also, we can email on a daily to help one another out with different ideas and resources. Continue to be the strong mother you are, I understand it gets frustrating at times.

holy prophet is one spiritual man i would forever give regards to, he brought my husband back to me after my old friend tried to blackmail me to take my husband and made him divorce me with wrong accusation. But this holy prophet did a prayer that resolved issues with my husband and push the other lady far away from him. I am happy to have my husband back, this prophet is great. his email is holyprophet8@gmail.com, he really surprised me.
