One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Wordless Wednesday: A Visit to The National Museum of Play

As a working mom, I appreciate fun-filled weekends A LOT! Last weekend, I visited my hometown of Rochester, New York. While there, my mom made sure that we stopped by the Strong Museum, otherwise known as "The National Museum of Play". I am so glad she did. It totally rocks!

The National Museum of Play had so many great fun things for kids. It had a dance room replete with a strobe light that my we all rocked out too, especially the baby. It had a pretend Wegmans Food and Pharmacy with little shopping carts and faux food. It also has a replica of the stoop portrayed on Sesame Street. As a girl raised on Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and the Count, I was impressed and had to try it out. So, below is a photo of my sister, my daughter and I just chillin' on Sesame Street...

If you haven't taken your kids to The National Museum of Play, I highly recommend making a trip to Rochester.

I found out how to get to Sesame Street...
