One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary. For that reason, I have committed to making new friendships, keeping the old productive ones, and enjoying them all--in the midst of working, parenting, and adulting .

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: Enjoying The Last Days of Summer

on
This summer has been great, even with our childcare and car troubles. I've been really impressed by how Andre and I have handled each challenge and managed to keep smiling through them. 
 
Although he wouldn't articulate it in this way, if he were pressed about it, Andre would admit that we are extraordinarily blessed. The troubles we've had are the type that can be solved with money and planning.  I'd choose those types of problems any day.  (Although if God happens to read this blog, please know that I could use without any problems of any sort for a while.  I'm just saying...)
 
Today, we donned our bathing suits and spent some time at the pool with friends. Although the day started out overcast, eventually the clouds parted, the sky became blue again, and the sun shined brightly.  Since we live in Pittsburgh and don't know how many sunny days are in store we capitalized on the opportunity and went to the pool. 
 
There are few things as enjoyable as a day at the pool on a sunny day and this day did not come up short.
 
It was a glorious day! The toddler loves the water.  She floated in her little floatation device, put her feet in the water, and enjoyed having a carefree day at the pool. Even though every day is carefree for her, she still really enjoys a special occasion or a vacation. Our girl likes to party!  We think it's cute at 23 months.  I hope we remember that when she's 16...
 
Although today is National Cherry Popsicle Day, the toddler topped off her celebration of a sunny summer day with a lemon Popsicle! And she couldn't have enjoyed it more!
 
Here's a video after our day at the pool.  Enjoy!!!
