One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Memorial Day Fashion

Even though I spent most of Memorial Day cleaning the house, I decided to wear a festive outfit. I wore red,white and blue plaid shorts, espadrilles and a pony tail. I like the plaid shorts a lot even though they are a bit different from my normal pattern-free fashion choices.  I have had them for a few years, but based on my read of the fashion magazines this season they have made a come back! If you're curious, they are not made by any known designer. I believe that I scored them at Marshall's, otherwise known as fashion heaven on earth! I got the navy shirt at Target back when Isaac Mizrahi had a line there. I miss those days!

Below are some photos.  Let me know what you think!
