"la route est longue".

Or a great idiom is "il y a du pain sur la planche".

thank you ...and could the idiom be used in the context of say 'she has a long way to go before she can call herself a good mother' ??

Oh sure you can.

Elle a du pain sur la planche avant de pouvoir se considérer comme une bonne mère.
