One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion.

Musings about Monday

Monday was a great day albeit a chilly one. After working a full day I returned home and scooped up the baby. She and I went shopping for a few clothes.

However, last night I made it out to a real store!

We also made it to Five Below where I was able to score some Easter supplies. I found cute cards and some favors that I tend to distribute at the National Aviary Breakfast with the Easter Bunny event this Saturday.  Since I'll be around so many moms, I might as well promote the blog, don't you think?!
