A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: My Feature in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

In the midst of all of the excitement going on with our childcare situation and my car I learned that my blog was going to be featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.  They have a new section called, "The Playground" where they feature blogs and this week they chose mine!

It turns out the editor of that section also has a daughter. And, motherhood tales are  the ties that bind. She related to my post, "Look Before You Leap" when I described how my daughter jumped out of her crib one morning and the guilt and anxiety I felt about it.  Being a guilt-ridden mom who's afraid that she's responsible for doing something to scar her kid for life is a universal experience.  Fortunately for moms kids are more resilient than we think they are!

At the BlogHer'12 conference last month they encouraged us to obtain media coverage for our blog.  So, I am thrilled that the Post-Gazette decided to give this mommy blogger a chance. I can cross something off of my things to do list.  Also, being featured in the biggest newspaper in our region is an honor and it bolsters my spirits. It also reminds me that the best is yet to come!

Happy Friday!!!
