At the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater Pointe in Time Emerald Gala Today marks a week since my birthday.  Its occurrence is a tremendous blessing. Because all around us are reminders about the fragility of life. To that end, my brother, who always makes a point to celebrate me, took me to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater's Pointe in Time Emerald Gala on November 2d.

Twitter Tuesday…

on

It’s the holidays!  Since I am off work this week I have been enjoying my holidays with my family .  I debated forgoing Twitter Tuesday, but thought better of it. Instead, I decided to share a list of top Tweeters from another source.  I cheated a little, but please don't judge me!

Here is the list of Top 50 Best Twitter Moms published by "The Babble" in 2010. 

These moms deserve recognition.  They are funny, witty, and likable. A few of them have been profiled on Chaton’s World before.  I generally don't re-post.  However, this holiday week I’ll make an exception.
Visit Babble’s post to read the entire list to see the list of fantastic Tweeters. And play close attention to @GretchenRubin, Gretchen Rubin, author of the Happiness Project.  She looks for the silver lining in every day events and inspires me.  My plan is to transform my home into a “Happiness Project” in 2011.

Who’s with me?!
