Like a lot of us modern moms, I was intentionally late to the child-bearing party. I established my career before having kids. I waited to find the right man to marry. At the right time.

What does good look like? This is probably the most confounding question for a working mom. There are so many public images of women doing it all, looking great and seemingly at peace with the world. Working motherhood isnt really like that. It is amazing but far from perfect. And each of us wears working motherhood in our own way.

One of my best friends just went back to work a few months ago. Well, technically, she went to work, because aside from a few starter jobs right out of college, shes been not working since she got engaged to her husband thirteen years ago. Anyway, three kids later, shes gone to work. Her husband is starting a new business, and hes recruited her to take over a part of it that shes especially suited for.

This week I returned to work after a 5-year hiatus.
