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

on
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.

House Work for the birds?

on
They say that cleanliness is next to Godliness. However, while I am angelic (no comments from my sister Jeryn allowed) and I am close to living my best life I struggle to keep my house clean.  I mean I really struggle.  Anybody who comes over with short notice gets a disclaimer, "You can come over, but it's really messy here..."

It's actually not THAT bad, but I figure that I should under promise and over deliver. That way folks won't complain about the toys on the floor and the dishes in the sink.

Still, I wish I didn't have to issue a disclaimer.  Instead, I wish that there was an "Easy Button" of sorts that made housework go "by by". I haven't found it yet, but this computer trick that I found from Jenni is the next best thing!

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE:


1. Open a new file in your PC.

2. Name it 'Housework.'

3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.

4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.

5. Your PC will ask you, 'Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?'

6. Calmly answer, 'Yes' and press mouse button firmly

Don't we wish that it could be that easy?!  Now, if only I could find an "Easy Button" for picking winning Lottery Numbers!!!
