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.

I know I'll never know what it's like to dance before millions at the Super Bowl, but I now know that regardless of my age, my marital status, and my motherhood, I am still willing to shake it up every once in awhile. And, I think that we should all be inspired by J.Lo and Shakira. Whether you liked the show or not, they showed us that nothing is off limits for moms. And that is quite inspiring!
