One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Twitter Tuesday!

Tonight President Obama delivered the State of the Union.  Regardless of your political affiliation you have to be proud that we live in a country where the president can address both houses and express his vision of America.  And, if you are proud to live in America you should be proud that we all have an opportunity to listen to him safely.  It may be a stretch, but listening to the State of the Union made me proud that the Constitution protects my first amendment right to Tweet.  I am not sure if that’s what the founding fathers had in mind, but I’m not one to let a privilege go to waste.

Below is a list of women who are exercising their free speech rights on Twitter as well.  Where else but America could Jennifer Marshall proudly call herself @nuckingfutsmama?  I love her wit and her humor. I wish that I had thought of that name! I have found other women who are committed to helping us become more organized, live happier and healthier lives, and achieve balance. Another mom admits that her children actually rule the roost.  Ain’t that the truth!

Finally, I would like to recognize @SJM_CookiesMom who helped me finally cross the 800 Twitter follower mark.  She is a wonderful an example of moms helping moms!

Great points! Who knew 200 some years ago that the country's future would include things like the Internet, Twitter, blogs, Pinterest.... I can't even imagine it without our First Amendment rights.

On a sidenote, my friend recently moved to DC and she said all of the preparation yesterday before the State of the Union Address was incredibly exciting!
