Stress Makeovers

The balancing act
Running a part-time business in her basement while caring for Benjamin, 5, and Elana, 3, means Amy Charlson's constantly bouncing between work and mom duties. The back-and-forth squelches her creativity and concentration. She feels like she's not giving her kids or her business the attention they deserve.

2. Guilt for not enough time spent with the kids or on the job
3. Worrying about the details that fall through the cracks
