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.

Working Mom Reflections: Sunday Dinner With My Mom

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!!!

Here's a video describing what I made.  Enjoy!
