A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

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.

Heartfelt Motherhood Moments...

There's a saying that's often touted with motherhood. "The days are long, but the years are short." I'm still in the midst of parenting young children. And each day seems long, event-filled and tiring. So, while I cannot vouch for the second part, I do my very best to enjoy the long days by cherishing the cuddles, savoring the smiles, and basking in bath time. 

Some days are better than others. But, every day, I got goals.
