A Working Mom's Secret to Success on Valentine's Day: Manage Expectations...

Lady celebrating Valentine's Day at Eddie V's "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." - Oscar Wilde  Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. The roots of Valentine’s Day roots go back to St. Valentine, a priest in the early Christian Church known for his compassion and commitment to love. He was a defender of faith, hope, and kindness, reminding us that love is not just a feeling—it’s an action. And, this year I have learned that being free on Valentine's Day is better than living a lie. Valentine's Day, like Christmas, comes every year.

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'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!!!)
