One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

The joys of autumn...


Autumn has finally descended upon Pittsburgh, effectively ending my summer romance. Amazingly, I have found new things to love.

The foliage is absolutely spectacular! The trees are full of reds, oranges, and rust colored leaves. They are so beautiful that I can only hope that I can find a dress in one of those colors.

Being able to breathe freely without the humidity is a welcome relief. I might be inspired to take up running again. Also, the clear, crisp air allows for more expanded wardrobe options.

You're probably surprised to hear me talk about autumn with such affection given my recent love affair with summer. What can I say, I'm fickle! :-)

Also, you know how romance goes. When you're in the midst of it, you are blind to its faults. However, after it's over, you have a chance to gain some persepctive. And perspective has a way of making you realize that you shouldn't limit yourself.

As much as I loved summer, I am looking forward to feeling the cool air kiss my cheeks, smelling the burning of leaves, and hearing the rustling of the trees...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
