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

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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: Sunday September 23, 2012

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday! We took some time out to make another video post. I think that the "VLOG" is the ticket for bloggers like me who also love to talk!
 
I made this video when I was supposed to be getting the toddler dressed and/or cleaning my house.  Don't judge me... 
 
I'm beginning to think that blogging, reading the newspaper, and researching issues that are relevant to working women is the cause of my perpetually messy house.  I also think that I simply lack the "housecleaning gene".  If you believe the "Mr. Clean" and "Pine-Sol" commericials there are some women who take great pride in cleaning their homes. In contrast, I take pride in having a clean home, but think that the chores can be outsourced.
 
Since I haven't figured out an affordable way to outsource the work yet, I have  become creative in how I position the camera so that you can't see all of the mess. (If I waited for my house to be clean, I would NEVER make a video post!) If you look closely though, you can see that I am slowly but surely drowning in Fisher-Price toys, Crayola crayons, and Legos...

Happy Sunday!!! (and since it is Sunday and this is Football season and I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. "Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers", I'd be remiss if I didn't say, GO STEELERS!!!)
