A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

on
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.

Yo Gabba Gabba Came to Pittsburgh!

on
Sometimes things are even cooler than you imagined.  Tonight we went to see the “Yo Gabba Gabba!, Get the Sillies Out”.  Yo Gabba Gabba! is a children’s show that airs on Nick Jr. To say that my toddler likes “Yo Gabba Gabba!” would be a major understatement. She loves it in a major way. Like we used to say on the playground, she loves is so much that “she wants to MARRY it!”

Yo Gabba Gabba! Got the Party Started!


I didn’t really understand the appeal until tonight.
I work Full-Time. So, I miss a lot of TV time with my daughter. I think that I had only seen the show a few times. I didn’t understand how the combination of music, colors and energy are absolutely infectious! 
However, tonight, I became a believer.  Unlike Barney, Yo Gabba Gabba! is cool!

DJ Lance and The “Yo Gabba Gabba!” people came up with the perfect mix of kid-friendly fun that works for adults. The show was fast paced. The music was bumping. They even tour with Biz Markie who rapped and did the beat box! I don’t know if this is what he envisioned when he was rocking the house circa 1995.  All I know is that having quality rap music at a kids' show was genius! Parents and kids were dancing in the aisles!

Awhile ago, a friend with older children said, I can't wait until your daughter gets into "Yo Gabba Gabba!". I didn't understand what she meant then, but now I know. And the truth is, I'm kind of into it to. Don't judge me! :-)
 My new mantra: Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle!

Bright Colors + Cool Music = A Great Evening! 


 

Seeing how much the toddler loved the show made it all worth it!
