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...

A Holiday Hit...


I have learned that I have the ability to rise to the occasion even in uncertain circumstances.

I succeeded. I wrapped all of my presents, baked all of my cookies and cooked a delicious dinner in time for Christmas.

However, because of all of the angst leading up to Christmas Day, I can't say that I have mastered the holiday routine just yet. Indeed, it is quite likely that I will doubt my ability to make the next holiday dinner. For now, though, I'll revel in my success and do a little victory dance while chanting, "I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch!".
