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.

Working Mom Tip: Organize Your Car (#PrimpMyRide)

on
My ride #PrimpMyRide

Working moms are in search of tips to make their lives easier. One thing that we all tend to do in our increasingly busy lives is to spend lots of time in our cars. Without proper planning, our cars can get really messy. Indeed, early this AM I was cleaning out my own car so that it looks like an automobile a scarp book/garbage can.

Even if Your Car Ain't Sexy It Doesn't Have to Be Messy!


As you can see from the photo of my car above, I have traded in my cool card and am embarrassing this mom thing with everything I've got. Still, I don't want my car to be a complete mess, I often give rides to co-workers. So, having a hella messy car can be a professional embarrassment and personal frustration. 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"!
