One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

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


Not only did Chick-Fil-A invent the fast food chicken sandwich, it tends to rock the fast food game better than anyone else. It delivers a cost effective, wholesome product that you can be proud to serve your family. I choose Chick-Fil-A whenever I can because it is a healthier choice than other brands of fast food. 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.
