I think your new Home Front blog is simply terrific! I share the sentiments you posted of a reader a few days ago that the revival of family would go a long way towards addressing some of the problems we’re experiencing in our country today. It is also nice to see bloggers address reality — like today’s post by Suzanne Venker — on mothers’ work/life balance challenges. I’m a mother of two toddlers with a full-time job outside the home, too. Like a dog chasing its tail, I struggle daily for this elusive “balance” which I never seem capable of grasping. Nice to know that there are others out there who see through the fiction women have been spoon-fed for years. Calling awareness to such issues helps give others the courage to give voice to what they know in their hearts to be true.
