Nowadays, it's becoming more and more challenging to live off of one income. Many divorced mothers with children seldom have the choice of whether or not to work while raising children.
If you've decided to keep up with your career, whether through choice or necessity, you'll be busy, but you can make it work. You'll be rewarded in the end because you won't have to worry about re-entry into the workforce once the kids are older, and you may opt to continue building your own 401K for retirement purposes.
When you ask most working moms how they do it, you'll often hear about their particular scheduling and planning habits. Working out a set schedule that works for you is essential.

After you have put the children to bed, give yourself some massive self-care time. Be compassionate and kind to yourself. Take a long bubble bath, read a book, journal your thoughts, or relax with a guided meditation.
Life can get hectic at times, but if you follow these tips, you'll be able to strike a happy balance between your career and your life at home.
