One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday (not really)...

I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. -- Maya Angelou

During this holiest of all weeks I am incredibly grateful for my sister, Jeryn. She is my best friend in the world. Those who know us well know that we call ourselves Tbecause we are more powerful together!

She goes out of her way to be there for me and for my family. She is kind, generous and thoughtful. I would not be the person that I am without her love and support. She thinks so highly of me that she makes me a better person.

She is traveling to Pittsburgh tomorrow to spend her Easter holiday with us even though she was just here for the baby's birthday two weeks ago. That's just one example of her selflessness. Below is my favorite photo of us. Enjoy!
