One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

A Holiday Hit...


I have learned that I have the ability to rise to the occasion even in uncertain circumstances.

I succeeded. I wrapped all of my presents, baked all of my cookies and cooked a delicious dinner in time for Christmas.

However, because of all of the angst leading up to Christmas Day, I can't say that I have mastered the holiday routine just yet. Indeed, it is quite likely that I will doubt my ability to make the next holiday dinner. For now, though, I'll revel in my success and do a little victory dance while chanting, "I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch! I did not drop the torch!".
