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.

I love Halloween because its the only time I get to sort through my kids bags and take out all the chocolate candy for myself and my husband. My kids don't like chocolate so mom and dad are stuck with all the Reese's, Almond Joys, Baby Ruth, Whoppers and such. I also love watching my kids get excited about their costumes and taking photos to send to all my family and friends. I also look forward to the kids marching around the house well into November with their costumes on. Fall is also my favorite time of year. Seeing the changing leaves on the trees is soothing to the soul.
