LOS ANGELES - Using one hand to chop green peppers and another hand to hold her son – that’s just a typical Tuesday for Yasmine Moussa. 

“For me the number one thing is being there for the kids and really fulfilling my role as mom,” she said. 

Add in some work on her blog while one kid is eating and another is playing and it’s a typical Tuesday for Moussa. 

“It’s overwhelming, definitely a little messy and something you figure out on a daily basis,” she said. 

Moussa had a high-powered job in corporate America for nearly a decade. Then she became a mom. 

“My son had acid reflux, food allergies, sensitivities, we had some breastfeeding issues, “she said. 

Simply put – it was hard to balance both. And she said workplaces don’t exactly make it easy for moms. 

“I don’t think maternity leave is long enough, I think it’s hard to pump at work,” she said. 

She’s one of many working moms facing these struggles. According to the United States Department of Labor, 70 percent of moms with kids under 18 work, with over 75 percent employed full-time. 

“More and more women are starting to turn to flexible side hustles,” she said. 

She did too, creating The Gentle Nursery, a non-toxic baby products guide for parents, something she wished she had when she started out as a mom. 

She has three other women helping her with her site, and she only hires working moms. 

“Give us an opportunity to have a creative outlet, contribute to our family income, and feel like you’re still learning,” she said. 

While she says corporate America may not cater to working moms, this kind of job does. And it gives her more of what she wants more of…

“Time is the new America dream, we want more time with our loved one,” she said. 

So does she have it all?

“I am balancing it all, right now as best I can given where I’m at. It looks different at every stage. Having it all is different in my 20s or 30s," she said. 

When she’s holding her two babies, she feels like she has it all – the whole world in her hands.
