Personally, I’m getting pretty sick of the whole “Can women have it all” debate. So, I’ve decided to add my two cents (translation – give the REAL answer so that we can move on to something much more important like why Rocky Road ice cream should be considered a controlled substance, or a fool-proof method to get your kids to behave like perfect little angels in three easy steps).
