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.

Us Working Moms Love Our Weekend Breakfasts

Delicious breakfasts...
One of my favorites things about weekends is the ability to enjoy a leisurely breakfast.  As a working mom of three, there are so many sacrifices that I make for my kids. Some of the sacrifices have happened organically and some have happened unconsciously. I just look back over the things that have changes since I've become a mom and realize that this. 

Life. Is. Different.

Still, one thing that has remained the same is the joy I get from enjoying my weekend breakfast.  It is one of life's greatest pleasures and I enjoy it. Now, I make the kids' breakfast first. So that I ca enjoy mine. Sometimes, mine is interrupted in order to fill a glass of a small person, give someone more sausage or to replenish a cereal bowl. Still, I get time to enjoy my weekend breakfast. And the laughs of my children that provide the soundtrack to my weekend mornings make the meals that much sweeter...
