@genevievemitch So glad you are both ok.

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@jerrikashley LOL!!! It’s me!!! Will I have 5 minutes or 50?!?!?!? 😂😂😂

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@RedLittleSpark ❤️❤️❤️

@twdb_brooke Yassss. You are sharing pro-tips. There is science to this!!! It takes time for the caffeine to get into your system. So, yes, down some caffeine, pass out for 20 minutes, wake up jazzed (or at least less exhausted).

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@NazRad11 Oh... that feels so good right?!?!? ❤️❤️❤️

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@Fiedler4Philly I love feeling the love 💕 Thank you.

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@sidney_french It is hard!!! We are all figuring out what works for us as we go. I’ve figured it out for me. One true thing, what worked before kids, won’t work now. You need a new plan and new tools. It’s going to be hard but you WILL be ok. Just don’t beat yourself up. ❤️❤️❤️

@NatalieDerr I’m taking video calls where I start “In about 20 minutes, I’ll be going off camera, I need pump. Just want to manage expectations”.

@LivingLeela As a mom who works from home, a lot more now, I MISS my commute. Lesson #107 from the pandemic. Commutes under 45 minutes are to be valued.

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@MadeInAmericaIA That feeling is the worst. The crazy thing is that, you feeling it indicates you ARE doing the right things. It tells me you are an amazing mom. Making the most of the cards you are dealt while staying sane and raising healthy kids. ❤️❤️❤️

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

As a working mom, who does not live near family, here’s what helps me: my husband helps around the house, my work provides flexibility when I need it, my boss sees me as a human, I spend money on convenience like pre-made food. It’s not enough. It does help.

Each month there is a new article proving working moms are suffering. Each month there is no action taken. How can we meaningfully support #workingmoms without waiting on the government and corporations?

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@rachsyme This is hard to read. So many moms are suffering right now and lack of affordable safe childcare is a key reason. It is required infrastructure for society to function. Society needs women to work and we also need them to raise children. We need support.

@mamamorgann Thank you!!! It’s hard. Really appreciate the recognition of our challenge.

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@MRY @Adweek @SheRunsIt Congrats, this is wonderful news! 💖👍🏾❤️

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@WorknMomWarrior The challenge doesn’t stop, yet we keeping showing up and delivering. It’s exhausting. Us mamas don’t have super powers, but we do have determination, patience and unwillingness to give up on our kids. Hats off to all the moms. This is hard.

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@power_redhead Some days things can really just suck. Hope most days aren’t like that for you. Don’t forget to take a moment to breathe. When stuff is hard, taking a moment for you is really important. ❤️❤️❤️

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@BGbloggers @juliecookies Yasss!!!! Saying no is OK. Saying no represents that you have boundaries, which is healthy and an act of self-love. 💖

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@MomWifeLadyLife That is awesome! These kids really are attuned to us mamas.

[Whitnee Hawthorne @SavvyWorking]

@newmomwhodis18 @Starbucks Adorable! That’s my favorite Starbucks treat too!
