A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Life Teaches You Things...


Unlike most bloggers, I try to write about the deeper meaning of life and less about my own drama, despite this being titled "Chaton's World".

That being said, I realize that sometimes I need to write about things more personal than politics. Recently, I have learned that people will disappoint you, relationships will fail, but still you need to believe. You see, it is not about the individual people or about the particular relationship. It is about the lessons that God has for your life.

I believed in something for some time, but learned that it was Fool’s Gold. Pyrite glistens. So it is easy to become confused. What I have learned is that I must continue to mine for what is real. I must continue my search for love and for understanding.

Going through the process at eighteen seems reasonable, doing it as a professional seems ridiculous. Still, it is a necessary human process. We have no control over when we will learn the lesson. We just have to be committed to learn.

I’ll keep you posted about what life reveals to me. Chaton’s World is full of surprises!
