Returning To Work After Baby
Some new mums have their career on their mind, other mums
don't have a choice and have to return to work and then of
course there are mums who can't even stand the thought of
heading back to the workforce. Here we'll provide you with
some helpful tips on going from baby's nursery back to the
office without feeling guilty & stressed.
Being a mum is a full-time job in itself, so going back to
work can be a tense & stressful juggling act for the whole
family, not just for mum. It takes a great deal of support &
understanding from family members to ease this difficult
transition.
The most important factor that I have found is to be
organized & prioritise. Preparing bottles, clothes and meals
the night before even though all you really want to do is
sit down, will save time & stress the following day. Having
a set budget & bills arranged in due date order takes the
worry out of keeping on top of finances.

Two Deaths: A Poet And A Beetle
Poet Wislawa Szymborska had an eye for the smallest, the gentlest, the hard-to-notice creatures on Earth and this week she bid them all adieu. Krulwich remembers Wislawa Szymborska.
Select easy fuss
free meals to make and if you can't keep the ironing basket
down then don't feel guilty about hiring someone to do it
for you. You don't have to be a superhero, never, ever say
no to help if you really do need it!
Before you go back to work, do your sums and make sure it
really is going to be worthwhile. Sometimes with the costs
involved with childcare, transport to and from work as well
as the wardrobe required, you are actually better off
staying at home. So work out what will be best for you and
your baby and most of all, don't feel guilty about whatever
decision you finally make!
