A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Disney SMMC 2017 Animal Kingdom Baby Dance #DisneySMMC

on
I am a part of Disney Social Media Moms. As part of this program I received a discount package to visit Disney World with my family. All opinions expressed are my own. 
One of the reasons the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration is so much fun is because it kicks off with a private party in Animal Kingdom. You haven't lived until you're in Animal Kingdom after dark as a guest of Walt Disney World because they throw a party like no other. And because it's Disney, the party appeals to young and old alike. As you see in the video, my son attracted a woman also moved by the music and they jammed together. (Her daughters blog under Disney Sisters, here's a link to their page.)

I thought I'd change things up this Wednesday with a video. Indeed, it says everything. He's a slave to the rhythm!
