I know one of the rules about blogging, especially if you’re a business, is to keep the information you blog about consistent. Well, I’m breaking the rules for once (okay, maybe I've broken them a few times). I hope you continue to be a loyal follower to The Social Calling in spite of this. It just seemed appropriate to write a Mother’s Day Blog and give a shout out to all of the women who juggle so much in their lives and make it look so effortless.
I was thinking about some of the women I’ve come across in the last few weeks whom I really admire. I think there is an unspoken expectation in society that regardless of whether a woman is working, she is still expected to be a domestic goddess. What’s surprising is that most of us accomplish this feat and do it with grace. I’m not necessarily including myself in this mix (at least not the “grace” part).
