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

on
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.

Wednesday Reflections - Raising Kids (#Motherhood)

Enjoying the sunshine
Anybody whose read this blog probably knows that I love my weekends with my kids. Last weekend was a bit jam packed though. My time with the kids was interrupted. I had to preside over a meeting on Saturday, which took a while. So, I vowed to make up for it on Sunday.


Posing


Sunday was a great day to make up for it because it was a sunny day in Pittsburgh! We went to church, which is a bit of an event. We don't make it there often. So, when we do, we are all excited. After church we went to The Children's Museum. We had lunch there. We played. And we had a great time. We even enjoyed the grounds because it was a sunny day.

Exploring the neighborhood


As I watched the kids run. And experienced their impetuous spirits, it got me thinking. Perhaps parents can't control their children and shouldn't even try. 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?
