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.

The Children's Museum is One of the Best Things About Pittsburgh

on
Children's Museum #pghkids
Working moms with young children want activities for their kids that are active, intellectually stimulating and fun.  And in that regard, nobody does it  better that The Children's Museum. Indeed, The Children's Museum  is a Pittsburgh treasure.

Children can go there and be themselves because quite frankly, they own the place. It was designed for children and the leadership does constant research to ensure that it is a place they'll enjoy. Below are more pictures of my kids creating valuable memories and stretching their creative muscle there.



He's a fireman!

If you have young children, pay the museum a visit. They have a rotating exhibit. (The Thomas & Friends Train  Exhibit will be there beginning on May 19th and we cannot wait!) So, there's generally something new. If you don't have young children, consider donating to this Pittsburgh treasure. If you'd like to make a donation, click here,

Let me know if you go and share photos!
