A Secret to Success This Back to School Season: Make Everyone Feel Loved

Family in Chautauqua   Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! In my world, 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 l...

Twitter Tuesday!

Anybody who visited the Carnegie Science Center yesterday probably saw me.  I was the mom chasing the toddler who was thrilled to pieces to have a taste of freedom.  She found her sea legs so to speak and she was delighted. 

I was a little scared though. There were big people and little people everywhere.  I actually kind of punched a guy in the gut who was walking way too fast and didn’t see my eager little toddler exploring at the Science Center.  It’s amazing how bold motherhood makes you. I had to do it, but I was glad that I wasn’t wearing my Chaton’s World t-shirt as I had planned.  Forget what you have heard. Bad publicity is just bad publicity.

Anyway, the crisis was averted and the baby continued on her journey and I avoided fisticuffs.  She enjoyed the open space, the other children, and the lights.  However, what she seemed to like most of all was the ramp.  She loved it! She ran down the ramp as fast as she could.  However, gravity is a new concept to her and her legs are short.  Eventually she fell down.  Then, she did the same thing all over again. It really was a sight to behold.  I loved experiencing it with her.  However, I was enormously grateful that my mother was there to share the experience!

In the midst of my MLK Day excursion I found some interesting women who Tweet who I would like to higlight. I found traveling moms, shopping moms and moms who value style. I found moms who run and moms who blog and a mom who writes to maintain her sanity.  (I totally understand that!) I found vegan moms, running moms and moms who work everyday to help us all look beautiful!
Most importantly, I found our first lady.  Yes readers, FLOTUS Tweets! How cool is that?!  Since today is her birthday I thought I would share her Twitter ID with all of you.  Shoot her a birthday message when you get a chance!

Oh well, it is time for bed.  I am just glad that Twitter Tuesday is actually coming out on a Tuesday. I have 5 minutes to spare!!!
Happy Tuesday!!!
