News-Sun photo by SAMANTHA GHOLAR Sharon Green and Mary Little stop for a snack at Molly’s Treats in Downtown Sebring dur- ing the inaugural Girls’ Night Out Wine Walk. Hundreds of attendees, male and female, strolled the streets downtown while sipping complimentary glasses of wine and checking out downtown shops, boutiques and galleries. The event featured entertainment such as fashion shows, dog shows and giveaways throughout the evening. Attendees were thrilled about the new event and look forward to new and exciting events such as the Wine Walk continuing to grow in Downtown Sebring.

News-Sun photo by SAMANTHA GHOLAR Michelle Johnson and Sherry Bohannon check out the Wine Walk itinerary Friday evening during the inaugural event in Downtown Sebring. Bohannon, who heard about the event from a friend, told Johnson about it and the two met up Friday. ‘I saw it on Facebook too,’ said Johnson. The friends were two of the hundreds off attendees at the Girl’s Night Out Wine Walk that was held throughout Downtown Sebring. The event brought together over 20 galleries, boutiques and shops who gave complimentary glasses of wine to women (and even some of their male better halves) as attendees strolled through the streets of Sebring.

he responsibility of raising a family T while maintaining a career is never easy. Working moms often wish there were more time in the day to spend with their families or get more done at the office. While there’s no way women can add a 25th hour to their days, there are ways to manage your time more effectively so you can get around to doing those things you never seem to have the time to do.

Get a head start

Perhaps no time of day is more hectic for a working mother than the morning, when she must get ready for work while getting the kids ready for school and ensur- ing they have a good breakfast. Some moms even drop their youngsters off at school. That’s a lot of tasks to tackle before you even sit down in your office to answer the first e-mail or listen to the morning’s first voice- mail. To make mornings less frantic, get a head start the night before by laying out the next day’s clothes for you and encouraging your kids to do the same. Preparing lunches, packing a gym bag and even setting the coffee maker can all be done the night before to save you time and make mornings more relaxing.

Catch up on work Share the responsibilities over the weekend While the days of the single-income household The weekends are a time when many working may be a thing of the past, many of the conventions mothers look to unwind, but spending an hour or of those days remain.
