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 Recipe For Glamorous Holiday Hair in Five Minutes (guest post by Harmony Kaiser)

The holiday season is a time for parties, sequins and glamour. However, it is hard for busy moms to step it up when they are already super busy.  Still, nobody wants to be that mom who is at a party in the corner whining because she’s not dressed appropriately. Instead, you want to be the fabulous mom who is admired by all who secretly think, “I don’t know how she does it?!”
 

Below is a post from Harmony Kaiser a Pittsburgh stylist who helps lots of women, including moms, look fabulous!

The Glamour Pony, the secret to easy holiday glamour!


 Time: 5 minutes

 
Works on:

1.      Medium to long hair

2.     Dirty hair is better (HUGE plus for busy moms!)

 

Hair supplies:

1.      Headband

2.     Comb

3.      Hair band

4.     Clip (to hold hair out of the way)
 

Five Easy Steps to Glamorous Hair


 
Step 1Divide hair from ear to ear over the top of your head. Clip that front section out of the way.
 

Step 2:  At the crown of your head, take a two-inch section of the remaining hair and tease the area near your scalp to create volume behind the headband. It’s o.k. if it is a little messy.
 

Step 3: Un-clip the front section and smooth it back over the teased area, gathering all your hair into a low pony. Reserve a one-inch section of your longest hair and secure the rest with a hair band.
 

Step 4: Wrap the reserved hair around the hair band and secure underneath with a bobby pin.
 

Step 5: Slip on a headband. This look is great when the hair is previously straightened as well as curled.
 

This is a great everyday look, but you can also glam your pony up with a glamorous head band!
