One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Wordless Wednesday (not really)...

This is what it looks like when my husband takes photos... It was taken yesterday. I asked him to take it because I wanted him to capture a moment. I was wearing a pair of suede shorts that my mother wore in college. She handed these shorts down to me and I also wore them in college. And because I am a pack rat, frugal fashionista who believes in wearing vintage clothing, I still have the shorts and I wore them yesterday. I was also wearing them because I am a busy working mom whose husband put the majority of my fall/winter clothes into storage in April after we closed on a house that we haven't moved into yet...

While some of you may question why I was wearing a Friday outfit on a Tuesday and others may be questioning why an attorney would be wearing suede shorts to the office at all, I encourage you to focus on the real issue.  I was wearing shorts that I wore in college and I had a baby seven months ago. I was kind of pumped about it and I hope you are too! :-)

(My daughter is in the very blurry photo because she bombed me. Who knows perhaps she'll wear the shorts one day too!)
