Going Back to Work, Anxiety, and the Guilt I Carry as a Mom
Going back to work should feel like progress.Sending my children back into full-time education should feel like relief.
This blog is a space for honest, real-life motherhood — the kind that happens alongside full-time work, tight budgets, busy schedules, and the constant mental load that comes with raising a family.
At FiveKidsOneMom, I share practical, lived-experience stories and ideas that support moms navigating everyday life. From saving money and managing household costs to juggling work, parenting, and everything in between, the focus here is on what actually works — not what looks perfect.
Take your time exploring. You’ll find realistic advice, relatable moments, and gentle reassurance designed to help you feel less overwhelmed and more confident as you build a calmer, more sustainable life for your family.
