Balancing everything

Some days I can't even imagine all the juggling moms have to do. I only have two kids and that's hard enough. I have friends with three and four kids who balance extracurricular activities for all of them! Amazing! Both my kids are involved in a few activities each, and sometimes they're schedules overlap leaving me scrambling to find a carpool or someone to take pictures for me! I've made some great mom friends who share in my struggle and also have kids the same age as mine. It works out great for school functions and childcare. We'll take turns watching each others kids whenever we have a conflict - so the kids get to play and we get to save money on childcare! It's great to have a circle of friends that you can do this with. It not only helps in a jam, but sometimes both families will all get together or we'll even swap kids for an even out with the hubby!
