A Working Mom's Secret to Success on Valentine's Day: Manage Expectations...

Lady celebrating Valentine's Day at Eddie V's "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." - Oscar Wilde  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.

Fortunately, right in time for Mother's Day, Joyce Brewer of "Mommy Talk Show" posted a video that shows you how she organized her car with inexpensive additions that make it easy to keep neat. It's such a good post that I have included a link below.

Watch and learn! And as Joyce says, it's time to "Primp my ride"!
