One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Friday Tip: Savor the Last Day of Summer!

on
For most moms, summer ended when school started. However, today is the official end of summer. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and this morning it is only 57 degrees. So, I think that summer got the memo and is, "se fue".

My love affair with summer is well documented. I love the sights, the sounds, and the smells. Even in Pittsburgh where the sun doesn't always shine brightly, I feel as if every summer day is God's gift to me. Talk about narcissism...

I think that the beauty of summer is that it doesn't last forever. Instead, we have to cling to its memories until it comes again. 

While summer's pleasures are fleeting, I Fall has pleasures too. I choose to embrace the burnt oranges, smell of smoke, and beautiful sunsets of autumn. After all they were ignited by the bright summer sunshine. And I shall embrace them as if they were my first love.

Besides, I will always have my summer memories. I also have today, the official last day of summer. I intend to do something to honor summer today. I may even do something radical, like wear white pants!

And until summer comes again, I have my photographs. I'll be posting some of them over the next few weeks. Hope you enjoy them too!

Celebrate summer today!
