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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: The Weekend

on
Sandbox fun

As a working mom my weeks are jam packed. For that reason, I love my weekends!

 Last weekend we got to have family time. And family time is always good! Lately family time is a rare commodity. We closed on our new home in need of renovations on April 11, 2014, three weeks after our son was born. Andre has been doing those renovations himself. That means that I’ve spent nearly every night and weekend since alone with the kids. I’ll resist the urge to say that I understand what single moms feel like. I know they bear a burden that I don’t understand. Still, it has been hard.

I won’t bore you by articulating how hard it’s been. It’s hard to explain without sounding like I’m whining. Also, everybody has their problems and those problems are significant to them. This past weekend though, it was almost like things were back to normal. We spent our Saturday hanging out. We had lunch together, hung out at his parents house and hosted family for dinner. Sunday was a bit of the same.
