David and daughter Jolie who is wearing her favorite new Life is Balance® tee.

How do working parents balance their day to day life? Not being married, or having children myself, I have enough trouble balancing my own work and personal life. (Note: I am wring this on Sunday night at 10:30pm while listening to the Grammy Awards!) So I can only imagine how hard it must be for working parents to find time to spend quality time with their kids.

I was talking to my cousin Beth this weekend and she told me what her husband David did to spend time with his 5-year old daughter, Jolie. After a 3 day business trip to Miami, David rushed home last Friday night to take Jolie to a father-daughter Valentine’s Day dance. He brought his date a pretty pink rose and treated her to a dinner out before the dance. Now that’s what I call balance!
