Kids are great at draining your batteries, even without a long workday to deal with on top of them. If you’re a working mom who’s forced to multitask to stay afloat, you deserve some extra special care. Working moms gotta treat themselves sometimes!
Here are some products that make life calmer and happier for the busy working mama. (and psst: these make awesome gifts for the lady in your life, too!)
