One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion.

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!
