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.

Friday Tip: Another Free Event in Pittsburgh (Three Rivers Arts Festival)

on


The Three Rivers Arts Festival has been going on for some time and this is the last weekend. According to a sign I saw, it's the largest free festival of its kind in the nation. Gotta love it when Pittsburgh comes in first for something other than football and eating more French Fries on salads than anyone else!

I usually enjoy the festival, but I have been forgetting to attend this year. This evening though, the toddler and I attended the festival as part of our nightly walk. Indeed, downtown was hopping tonight. There was the festival, the Pittsburgh Pirates were playing, and there were musicians playing on the sidewalk. We loved all of the excitement, especially the toddler who was smiling and dancing in her stroller. 

We had dinner at the festival too, an egg roll and chicken on a stick.  Yes, even though I have been committed to giving my toddler fresh, organic, food today we ate street meat. It was oh so good.  Don't judge me!

Besides, it's been reported that the health inspectors checked the food at the festival and we said grace so I am sure that we'll be fine!
