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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: Being Profiled in Mommy Noire Magazine

on
As I mentioned recently, one of the things that I love about being a mommy blogger is the love and support that I have received from other bloggers. Blogging seems to attract moms who are generous and interested in forging a virtual community. Some of my blogging relationships have even turned into friendships.
 

Check me out in Mommy Noire Magazine

 
One such friend is Heather Hopson from "Diary of a First Time Mom". As I recently mentioned, Heather recently hosted a lunch and learn with The Motherhood that was a great event. Also, it turns out she included me in a recent post she wrote for "Mommy Noire Magazine" entitled, "11 Mom Bloggers You Should Bookmark"      http://mommynoire.com/36468/best-black-mom-blogs/4/.  Being included in this post was a pleasant surprise and immediately increased my number of page views! Also, I was happy to learn that reading my blog had been helpful to Heather while she was pregnant.
 
Thanks Heather!!!
