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. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. 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.

Loving Your Newborn Baby...

Never fear blog readers. I am writing Part II of "The Tales of Natural Childbirth". However, it is hard to find the time .

Babies can be Messy, Stinky and Time Consuming


My days are filled with diaper changes—the dirty, the messy, and the stinky. I also do a lot of breast feeding—the necessary, the wonderful, and the demanding. Then there’s the breast pumping.  It is tortuous, inconvenient, and time consuming. 
While less fun than the fist pumping done by "The Situation" and "Snooki" on the Jersey Shore, I often feel about as silly as they look when I do that particular deed.  In my spare time I wash clothes, cook and clean. I sleep when I can. On top of all of that I work outside of the home.  Then, every day, I wake up to do the same things again. Not to whine but, I could really use a clone.

I wonder if I’d already be done writing that natural childirth piece if I stopped the whining??? NAH!!!

Tell me about it! I have all these fabulous posts brewing and for some reason I whine about posting them more than actually writing!!!

Make the time now, because it does not get any easier as they get older!!!
