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.

This post was sponsored by LittleMoochi

 We’re closing in on what seems like 500 million weeks into the “new normal”, and everyone’s getting a bit stir crazy.  And as usual, working parents have it 10 times harder. You’ve probably already added “homeschool teacher” to your résumé, but summer camp counselor was more than anyone bargained for. Luckily, there’s a fun online puzzle game that gives the best of both worlds.

One Innovative Way to Educate and Entertain Your Kids

The game was created by a cool Carnegie Mellon University startup called LittleMoochi. LittleMoochi already helps parents by turning mealtimes into a game to eat healthier. Now they’ve released this fun web game for them to have fun while learning too! The kids must solve 5 puzzles to free Moochi from a locked room. Each puzzle touches on a wide variety of subjects ranging from math to logic to their forte, nutrition. The game is FREE and here goes the link: https://littlemoochi.com/

Give this game a try. Every hour of free time counts! Here’s to summer!
