Treat or Treat!! I'm a huge proponent of a reward system and rewarding often. I do this with my kids, with my husband (wink, wink), with my employees, with my team members, and with myself, because 1) I think positive reinforcement is the way of the future and 2) because it works. The truth is that being a working mom isn't a piece of cake, and it requires a delicate balance between giving and taking. The problem is that society has thought you that taking is bad, is selfish, is wrong... but how are you supposed to keep going if you don't take some back to retain balance in your life?
