Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

An Ode to Memorial Day (and White Jeans)... (Part I)


I have had a soft place in my heart for Memorial Day since becoming an adult and began drinking adult beverages. It is the official beginning of summer. And I have had a crush on summer for sometime. See "Summer is My New Boyfriend") Summer is the time when I can wear shorts, let my hair dry naturally and wear it curly, and wear my white jeans. True confession though, I wore white jeans on our vacation to Clearwater Beach, Florida last month.

I love my white jeans. I got lucky an scored a boot cut pair by Elie Tahari several years ago and I try to wear them as often as the fashion rules allow. As InStyle magazine points out they can be sporty, dressy, or sexy. They are universal. And they scream "warm weather"! InStyle Magazine "How to Wear White Jeans"

Even though I pride myself on being appropriate and knowing fashion rules, the white jean thing is somewhat of a moving target. Some people insist that Memorial Day is the beginning of white jean season other people say the season begins with Easter.

 What do you say?
