Mother's Day Tips for Working Moms

Mother's Day Tips for Working Moms

NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent government statistics report that 71% of all women with children under age 18 are part of America's workforce, which means that finding the right balance between work and family resonates with a majority of women.

One high-profile personality who understands the challenges is Latin sensation Cristina Saralegui, one of the most recognizable talk show hosts, a successful entrepreneur, a tireless advocate for the less fortunate and the mother of three. As a classic multi-tasker, like so many moms, she's found ways to make her life easier.

Recognized by Time Magazine as one of "25 Most Influential Hispanics in America," Cristina believes her primary role is that of motivator and role model for all women. As host of Emmy(R) award-winning "The Cristina Show," author of "My Life as a Blonde," and the designer behind Casa Cristina, a collection of home furnishings available exclusively at Kohl's, Cristina gives women the tools to lead self-empowered, healthy lifestyles.

Says Cristina, "Success is not an accident; we all must pay a price to acquire it. First, you must give up the notion that things will go smoothly." Here, in time for Mother's Day, Cristina offers tips on keeping an even keel:

-- If they're willing and able, call on the extended family. I had the
good fortune of having the "grandma brigade," which proved invaluable.
The added bonus? Long-lasting bonds with their grandchildren.
-- Gender-specific jobs don't apply to parenthood. As a musician, my
husband Marcos often worked at night, freeing up his days to be both a
dad and a soccer mom.
-- Don't be afraid to say "no." Being a working mother means you're pulled
in many directions. Decide how much you are willing to stretch
boundaries and then be consistent.

And the best Mother's Day present Cristina has ever received? "I have experienced a great deal of success in my life, but nothing compares to feeling the love your children bestow on you. Nothing. Not my Hollywood star, not all my Emmys. Success is all about love."
