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.

Friday Tip: Stay Tuned for Product Reviews

I haven’t received a free trip to Disney World. And I haven’t had my face on a bill board in Times Square (yet).

I have made great contacts, gotten some cool invitations to events, and scored some swag. I have also been fortunate to get some products sent to me to review.

I will not transform Chaton’s World in to a “review blog”, mainly because I like writing too much and believe that other women can learn from my tales about the challenges I experience in balancing my life. And even if they don't actually learn anything, they may just get a good laugh!

However, occasionally, I will review products that I like.  Trust me, if I don’t like it I’ll let you know or I simply won’t write about it.

Stay tuned for my review of some cool products by Johnson and Johnson!
(Disney World, if you're looking for a blogger to review the Magic Kingdom, I'm your mom!)
