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

on
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...

Falling in love is contagious...

on

Apparently my new lease on life is contagious. A friend recently accepted a date with a guy that wasn't her exact type because she asked herself, "What would Chaton do?" As fate would have it, she went out with him and had a great time.

My recent experiences have taught me that I missed out on a lot of fun because of my self imposed restrictions. These restrictions covered nearly every area of life--I shouldn't go out on week nights, I shouldn't date anyone who hadn't made similar choices, and I should stop exercising once it felt too hard.

I am not committed to doing the opposite of everything I did before. That's as silly as all of those rules. Rather, I am committed to focusing on incorporating more of what I truly enjoy into my life.

I have taken some chances. I have gone out on weeknights. I have dated more authentically. And, I have pushed myself athletically. As a result, I have been having a really good ride...

I invite all of my friends and blog readers to join me. Springtime is a time of new beginnings. Come on, let's fall in love together!
