Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week #BMHW25

on
Mom and three kids 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. Black Maternal Health Week April 11-17, 2025 I am a Black mom to three wonderful children. I was blessed to have three successful births. While I am an attorney, my third delivery highlighted the potential risks that occur when a physician fails to listen to the birthing person. Initially, I chalked it up to the physician involved and limited it to my personal birthing experience. Then, I learned that I was not special.

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!!!)
