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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Sunday Fun

on
This past weekend we got to have family time. And family time is always good!

Anybody who has kids understands that it is important to keep them stimulated. One way to do that is learning about interesting events and attending those that make sense.  Sometimes though, the weekend is about reconnecting with your family and cleaning the house because people are coming to view it...

Our current situation: cleaning, showing and renovating 


You've heard me share that we are trying to sell our home and are renovating another one.  Andre is doing most of the work.  So that means I am alone with our children a lot.  

The good thing is the new house is very close to our current home. So, Andre can come home whenever we need him.  The challenging thing is the kids and I must figure out how to amuse ourselves.  On days like today when people come to view our current home, the kids and I must venture out into our community.   

I love taking photos. If I could find a sponsor, I swear I'd become a member of the paparazzi.  I don't, so, my consolation is stalking my kid.  Often, she's not up for it.  However, sometimes, like today, she humors me.  When she does, I can't resist sharing the results. 
 

Enjoy!

Photos with your kids, the next best thing to a selfie...

Two years ago, Pittsburgh got an incredible gift.  With a donation from the Charity Randall Foundation, Pittsburgh got a very cool art exhibit that emits a mist cloud of water that helps everyone around smile and cool off.  My daughter loves it.  So, since it was surprisingly hot today, we decided to pay it a visit.
