In lieu of a real post today, I wanted to point you to a post I shared on my personal blog, titled “How I Do It All…Secrets from a Perfect Wife and Mother“:

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of emails and comments asking me how I do it all. There must be something in the air because I’m noticing a lot of other bloggers talking about getting those same kind of emails.

Tsh @ Simple Mom had an awesome post last week (while I was still composing this one in my head…) in response to that very question, and she hit the nail on the head. The key is that no one – NO ONE! – can do it all. It’s simply impossible. For every activity that I do, there’s another that I am choosing not to do. For everything I accomplish, there’s something else that is left undone.”
