OC FAMILY MAGAZINE'S WORKING MOMS

Our staff at OC Family magazine knows the conflicts and rewards of being a working mom.
   
We have six working mothers on our immediate staff: Renee Lefebvre, account executive; Kari Wirtz, art director; Tracey Shackleford, account executive; Susan Vega, senior account executive; Debbie Templeton, account executive; and Juanita Garner, account executive.
   
We asked our team for their best tip for bringing it all together. Here’s what they said:
 
• Take a lunch break and use that hour to attend to any personal things. If you are able to do that five days a week, that is five extra hours with your children on the weekend.
– Renee

• Make sure to take time for yourself, whether it's 20 minutes a day or girls night every two weeks.
– Kari

• Make time to enjoy your kids! They grow up way too quickly!
– Tracey

• Pick out clothes the night before; it's a must.
– Susan

• Keep a calendar/schedule on the refrigerator, making it visible to the entire family.
– Debbie

• Prepare as much as you can the night before; it seems to make my day a little easier.
– Juanita
