on
Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! 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 learned from navigating my world.

Toddler Tales: Helping is Fun!

on

Having the privilege of watching children develop is a real treat. I have so many posts to write about the cool things that my daughter has been doing. There are so many things to write about, but so little time.  It may seem like I am a full time blogger sometime, but I still have my "real" job. I also am involved in community activities too. Somehow I never learned to keep still!

Because I am so busy I am particularly excited about my toddlers new fascination.  She really likes to help. If I am cooking, she likes to help. If I am sweeping, she likes to help. This summer she has also enjoyed helping the neighbor with her gardening. I encourage her even though her help may not always be that helpful. I figure that fostering a helpful spirit will pay off in the end. With all of the things we have to do, each one of us have to do our part, even the kids! Don't judge me!!!

Any of you have any ideas about how to put kids to work?

Moo helps out by cleaning up her toys, making sure her shoes and clothes are in the right place and she likes to help take out the recycling. I've let her help out in the kitchen a few times with cooking or making punch. I think it's great to nurture kids desire to want to be helpful.

It encourages them to be responsible. So I say let her help on!
