One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Thoughts of Thanksgiving...


Thanksgiving is a special time. It involves family traditions of eating tasty food and coming together. Last year, my dear friend and her girls joined us from Texas. We showed them a Pittsburgh good time. I've included a photo of us (minus their mom who was napping) from Market Square with Santa.


Indeed, Market Square and the People's Holiday Market is one of my favorite Pittsburgh traditions. It is decorated like a European market and there are treats and sites to see. My sister and I took the girls on a walk through downtown and we even went up to Mount Washington to give them the best view of the city. Of course, they had to take the incline, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

As usual, Thanksgiving dinner included our family and other dear friends--all twenty plus of us. And we had all of our family favorites, mostly cooked by my mom. As the years go on, I am ever grateful to have her in my life healthy and sound. So, on this Thanksgiving eve, I have a grateful heart.  I am reflecting on Thanksgivings past and I am looking forward to tomorrow. 

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
