One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that.

Wordless Wednesday: Why I Work

Child on the Pittsburgh North Shore
Yesterday on my Facebook Page I was seeking motivation. I had been thinking about the challenges that people, in particular working moms, have during the workweek. So, I decided to probe my Facebook friends about how they made it through the week. I will share their responses with you because I think you'll find them worthwhile. Of course their responses stimulated my mind as well. I've been working for most of my life and have been a full time working mom for the duration.

I have not paused. I have not fainted. And I have not given up. 

So, I asked myself the question. One thing I realize is that my Wordless Wednesday post is not just a way to fill up space on my blog. The photos are a reminder about why I work. I primarily work to provide for my family and to make them smile. Since we celebrated my son's third birthday last week, I decided to feature him in this post. Even with the challenges, I am grateful to be a working mom every day. And these photos encourage me when I need a reminder of that!
