One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion.

Instead, what we should do is provide them with opportunities and a safe place to explore. That will allow them to discover what they like and what makes their heart sing. If we are able to do that, I think that we'll have aced this parenting thing. What do you think?
