A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast.

As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Live, love, and write...


Tonight I came home from work and did something that I rarely do. I donned my jeans refreshed my makeup and went out for an adult evening.

I treated myself to a lecture. Elizabeth Gilbert, the talented author of Eat, Pray, and Love was speaking. That book was about her transformation after a divorce. She read from an upcoming book about her views on marriage. I enjoyed the event. Her writing style and her subject matter resonates with me. However, more than anything, her personal story speaks to me.

She took a journey of self-discovery and wrote a memoir that captivated women all over the world. I desperately want to write a book. I have a story within me that have yet to be told, several stories in fact.

I would write a novel but my own life fascinates me to the point of distraction.

I have loved. I have lost. I have learned the lessons. I have had the courage to take chances. And I have allowed fear to paralyze me. I realize that I have been feeling, praying, and loving my way to my best life. Someday, I will arrive.

At the end of the day, I hope that I retain a fundamental connection with my soul and that others will be inspired by my story. Stay tuned. This blog will chronicle the journey until the book comes out!
