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: Perhaps I'll Be on Dance Moms???

on
Anyone in my daughter's presence when music is playing knows that she likes to dance.  It's as if she is a toddler possessed.

We have this Pottery Barn CD entitled, "Let's Dance!" The exclamation point means that the phrase is a command and my daughter takes it to heart. As soon as she hears the music she starts to stomp her feet, wave her arms, and bop up and down.  If it is a song that she likes she puts her entire body into it and moves about.


I haven't been around a lot of children, but I am impressed that she actually has rhythm!  She was born with it.  She had to have gotten her rhythm from my side of the family. Andre can't dance.  I have also been told that lack of rhythm has been passed down for generations, on his side.

Being able to keep time with the music is a source of pride for my family.  Some of us even claim to dance well.  My sister, Jeryn, is actually a great dancer. She's the kind of girl who has gotten a shout out from the DJ because of her moves.  Although I am not getting any shout outs, I do OK.

If the video below is any indication, my daughter is taking after my sister. The toddler likes to "Cha Cha" and she's good at it! Perhaps I should see whether Dance Moms is doing a toddler edition? Just joking!
