A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

on
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.

Twitter Tuesday!

on
I know that it’s like I am playing peekaboo with Twitter Tuesday.  Sometimes you look for it and it just isn’t there!  The past couple of days I was distracted a bit.  I was preparing a guest post for another blog http://dianereiter.com and neglected my own. (Super thrilled to be a guest blogger though!)  Also, it was a rare warm winter day in Pittsburgh.  So, last night the baby and went for a walk.  And we had the best time!
A few weeks ago, when we returned to work after the holidays, Tuesday came and went without a posting. I was confused and missed posting an entry because I thought it was Monday. My confusion lasted all week.  This time I remembered as soon as I woke up today and said, “tell me it’s not Wednesday!” 
Nobody answered.

Perhaps I'm the only working mom who sometimes confuses her days, but I don't think so. I think that most moms are doing the best that they can in the midst of laundry, dishes, and trying to brush their teeth.  They are doing all those things that I mentioned on Monday in my “Time Flies When You Have a Toddler” piece. I used to be judgmental when I saw them out and about looking a bit frazzled.  Now, I don’t judge them. 
Moms do everything that everyone else does plus more than a little more.  The Toddler mom deserves her own place in heaven!  

Moms do heroic deeds. They sacrifice. They clean up all sorts of smelly, slimy things.  They deserve medals. They deserve medals and a day reserved in their honor. Wait, I guess moms did get a day, it’s in May.  Still, we need more. Until we get it, check out the ladies listed below. They are more than heroic.  They’re Tweeters!  You don’t have to give them a medal, but send them a message on Twitter and tell them that @chatonsworld sent you!
