CNN created slideshow of some of their top journalists talking about their careers and how they balance it with being mothers. I’ve got to say that journalism is a tough job. It doesn’t end at 5:00. Nor does it end when your kid is on stage waddling around dressed as a tomato in his first school play. Journalism is a 24/7 job. How do these women do it all?
Soledad O’Brien says, “You can’t do it all, especially if you have four kids”
Kelli Arena sums it up by saying, “Finding time for kids and work is about being creative and in love.”
Take a moment and view the slideshow. Even if you aren’t a journalist, I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to these woman who have the same everyday struggles the rest of us have.

This slideshow was fascinating! Thanks for sharing. As a journalist/mom, I can attest that it isn’t easy — particularly because I never know when a story is going to break late in the day. It’s a balance for sure, but definitely worth it.
