I don’t know about you Mama’s out there, but with running my blog, our family candle business, and managing our family life, I don’t get as much sleep as I want or need. Most days I’m up by six am or earlier, and honestly don’t lie down to go to sleep until well after eleven pm. That’s the norm for me, and my reality as a work from home mom, entrepreneur and wife! Any of this sound familiar?
