A Tale of Two Mommies is a light-hearted weekly family column co-authored by Sacramento stay-at-home mom and freelance writer Kelli Wheeler with Jennifer C. Hall, a full-time working mother and community volunteer.

Styled in coffee-shop banter, the mothers offer up differing perspectives but a united front on the challenges of balancing motherhood, career and self-identity. As both women recount their efforts to obtain Mother of the Year standings, they concede a truly good mother may just have sticky floors, dirty ovens, but happy children.
