A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom (A Video Post!)

on
This Sunday I am trying out the Webcam on my computer to see whether I can get it to work properly. I'd also like to know whether any of my blog readers like it.  I think it might help add some variety to my posts.

Here's how the taping of this post actually happened.  Unlike Bethenny Frankel, Kim Kardashian, and even Kevin Federline, I had no camera crew taping our piece. It was just me sitting on my steps trying to figure out how to use the webcam. I definitely have lots to learn. So, please have patience with me, the blog trainers are not through with me yet!

If you like this video post let me know by commenting on this blog and/or by liking my Facebook page, which is located at www.facebook.com/chatonsworldpage.

(Forgive the lack of makeup and the toddler in her diaper and my hair.  This is real, reality TV! :-))
