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. He was a defender of faith, hope, and kindness, reminding us that love is not just a feeling—it’s an action. And, this year I have learned that being free on Valentine's Day is better than living a lie. Valentine's Day, like Christmas, comes every year.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: I Might be on Anderson Live

on
Yesterday was an interesting day. Work was fairly typical. After work I responded to an email I received looking for families who might want to get parenting advice from the Supernanny.  I've always liked the show. So, I responded. I'm online so much that I forgot about it as soon as I responded.

Anderson Live is looking for Families


On my drive home I received a call from a producer from Anderson Live. Ironically, the only reason that I answered the call is because I thought it was a friend of mine calling to ask me to hang out when I go to DC for the Inauguration. I was surprised that it was a producer who wanted to interview me for a television show.
 
She asked me why I wanted to speak to the Supernanny. I explained the parenting conflicts that Andre and I sometimes have.  They all stem from a fundamental disagreement about the maturity level of a two year old. Generally, I think that she's only two and still a baby. He thinks that she's just a tiny person and that she is fully capable of understanding everything. 
 
I have to wait to hear from the producer to see whether I'm selected for the show. If I am, I'd like for the Supernanny to weigh in on my conflict with Andre. Also, if you give me questions, I'll try to get your questions answered too!
 
Wish me luck!
