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.

A tip too good to keep to myself...

I am a compulsive shopper, but I am frugal. In the past, that has been a difficult balance to strike. However, today, my luck improved. I met my new cyber best friend, the Coupon Dork. He's the best type of friend. He's always available and has exactly what I need, discount codes and coupons!

Because I am not selfish, I'll share him with all of you. If you want to make an internet purchase, find the item, but before you confirm your sale, go to http://www.coupondorks.com to get a discount code or coupon. He'll hook you up!

Happy shopping!!!
