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. The roots of Valentine’s Day roots go back to St. Valentine, a priest in the early Christian Church known for his compassion and commitment to love. He was a defender of faith, hope, and kindness, reminding us that love is not just a feeling—it’s an action. And, this year I have learned that being free on Valentine's Day is better than living a lie. Valentine's Day, like Christmas, comes every year.

Working Mom Confession: Getting the most from your money at Chick-Fil-A

Today we had to take my sister to the airport so that she could return to Atlanta. Because there's a Chick-Fil-A near the airport, I was very excited to go there with my kids for lunch. The indoor playground would help me get some peace and quiet. So, it would be a win/win.

Everything would have been perfect, had I not made a costly mistake...

Unfortunately, learned that I had forgotten my wallet at home. Fortunately, I was able to scrounge up $15.00, which allowed me to purchase a grilled chicken meal and a kids meal with 6 nuggets. Both came with drinks and abundant french fries. So, the three of us had enough to make a meal. That said, they inadvertently gave me 4 nuggets. When I brought it to their attention, they gave me 6 for free. So, my money went even further and the kids had more than enough food to satisfy them. It was a reminder that despite what we may see, we always have enough.
