“I am a firm believer you can have it all as long as you define what ‘it all’ is,” said Lyons.

She’s not the only one who strives to have it all; many of us crave the full package; a job, family, a white-picked fence, and a picture-perfect marriage.

But is that idea a façade?

Lyons says it’s as realistic as you want it to be.

Yes, there’s only one of you and a mere 24 hours in a day, but Lyons says it is possible to achieve a mostly balanced life, and her book is here to help.

Lyons says “You Cannot be Serious” is targeted to working moms, but it’s also a smart guide for gals pre-kids.

“For women who plan on going into parenting, you have got to know in your core what your values are and what’s going to make you happy. This way, you won’t fall prey to everything else the world is telling you will make you happy.”

And Lyons speaks from experience.

The Valley-girl majored in Japanese and admittedly has no idea how she made it from point-A to point-B.

She never really wanted five kids; in fact, she planned on a simple two.

Her extended family lives on the other end of the country; so really, it’s just her “unit” here in the Valley of the Sun.

But through trial and error, good times and bad, Lyons formed a series of strategies that have made her a happy, fulfilled wonder-woman.

“I don’t think you ever get to a place where you say ‘I am balanced,’ it’s just juggling.”

So here are some tips on how to “juggle” in a healthy manner.
