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.

More Sleep for Mommy!

on
A mommy friend on Facebook recently asked, “Is anyone else tired of being tired?” A lot of people agreed with her.  I think that her comment resonated with so many people because mothers struggle to find time of their own.

Granted, she has two children and her demands are more onerous than mine. Still, I understood her sentiment. This week I am committed to getting more rest. If you read my posts last week you know that I have been sleep deprived for the entire time I have been a mom (over 17 months).  This week though, I am committed to getting more.
I’m not going to set unattainable goals that leave me feeling like a failure when they are unachieved.  Instead, I have achievable goals. I’ve been averaging 6 hours a night most weeks. This week I am committed to averaging 6 hours and 20 minutes.  That might seem lame to you, but it seems like heaven to me. 

Off to sleep now. Sweet dreams!!!
