Family in Chautauqua   Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! In my world, 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 l...

Friday Tip: Free Stuff for Kids (The Pittsburgh Children's Museum)

on
Pittsburgh has really had some wonderful, fun, family-friendly events lately. In honor of a new park opening on the North Side in its backyard, admission to the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is free tomorrow. (Please see below for more details.)

My daughter visits The Children's Museum so much that I think that she believes that it’s her playroom. That really helps since our townhouse doesn’t allow her to have an actual playroom. I don’t think that the constant pile of toys, crackers and bowls she uses as drums on the floor of our living room qualifies…

I am a HUGE fan. The Children's Museum is like a kid's wonderland. It  is always hopping and is a good time for parents and kinds. I know that my toddler will be all over the Hula Hoop Jam!
NOTE:  There is free parking. And I don't recall anybody giving up free parking in Pittsburgh for years. So, you can come stay for while and at the sign of the first tantrum you can high tail it out of there and know that all you have lost is the gas it took you to get there. (Or if you live on the North Side or downtown, you can simply walk home.)
Please let me know if you plan to attend! I would love to meet you!

Free admission to the Children's Museum all day
(Sponsored by the Jack Buncher Foundation)

We absolutely LOVE Children's Museums. We just recently relocated to FL from Kansas City, MO where they had 2 different ones and we actually had our oldest daughter's 2nd Birthday Party at the Children's Museum! They really are great resources for our children...Sounds like you guys are going to have a fabulous time, Enjoy!!
