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.

Twitter Tuesday: Cool Women on Twitter


During this holiday season I am featuring women who inspire me on Twitter. Below is a list of some of my favorites!



1.    @Brandi Jeter: Brandi J is a Bay area mom who is committed to living life in a big way. She describes herself as “Ayva's Mom, Online Content Creator, @iVillage #Ivoices, Community Support for @CBSocialFabric, @ShadesSocial, Founder of @MatterMoreMedia.” Learn more about her at http://www.mamaknowsitall.com

2.     @HollyPavlika:Holly Pavlika is a very impressive lady. She does so many things that I wonder how she finds time to sleep! She describes herself as “President, MOMentum Nation. Marketing to and with moms. MediaPost Engage Moms. Shot@Life, Global Poverty Project, 10X10 Educate Girls Champion.” http://momentumnation.com

3.     @allthingsfadra Fadra Nally is a girl after my own heart. She describes herself as “Mom. Wife. Ex-Corporate Worker. Seeing if I can do it better my way. Join me in my off time at @CharInfluence and @SocialDialect.” http://www.allthingsfadra.com

4.     @hollyrpeete: She is an actress, author, and TV personality. She is also an autism advocate. Here’s a recent post. “Tomorrow in NY I will participate in a panel discussion on #autism held by Amex with @autismspeaks ... #1in88” She’s awesome! I have been a fan of Holly Robinson Peete since she came on the scene with 21 Jump Street. I also think that we look alike. It may just be me though.

5.      @momsatwork: Working moms need a network so that we can understand that we’re not the only one who is late getting home, misses birthday parties and/or goes to work without showering.  Moms at work describes themselves as “a group of working moms who every day engage in a precarious tight-rope act of balancing our jobs and family. Yes, sometimes we fall off!”  In a word, they are my people!
