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 Style Deal for My Stylish Friends!

on
If you're like me, you like to keep up with the latest styles.  I am actually old enough that some of the styles I loved in my youth are coming back.  Really?  Yes, really. 

Well INSTYLE magazine is about the best way to keep up with what's current.  And since Andre has threatened to throw me out along with all of my magazine subscriptions I am scaling back.  Still, when a deal is this good, I have to take advantage and share with you.  Besides this is just one magazine and not twelve.  So, I'm compromising!

Saving $2.00 off of INSTYLE is huge! (Click on the link below to cash in.)  So, consider this your very first Valentine.

SMOOCHES!
