A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Inauguration 2013 Interrupted My Writing Schedule...

I attended President Obama’s second inauguration swearing in ceremony and The Inaugural Ball on Monday. Both were amazing experiences that intend to share with you. However, I’m going to have to share them later!

Inauguration 2013 Interrupted My Writing Schedule


Traveling to DC and partying has thrown a wrench in my writing schedule.  As you know, I am a working mom. So, after I returned home I had to get back into the swing of things—mothering and working! Needless to say, I had a lot of catching up to do!
So, what's the result? This mommy blogger has a lot of things to say, but little time to write. I've also been exhausted since I returned! Don't worry, I’ll make the time to write soon though.

In the meantime, check out photos from the inauguration at https://www.chatonsworld.com/p/out-and-about.html
