One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world."— Susan Lieberman   Traditions have a way of defining a family, provide stability and give hope. They are especially important for woking moms who spend so much time working to provide for their family that they may miss some of the "traditional" mom things like bake sales, volunteering at the book fair, and a host of actual and seemingly made up holidays.  They are also important for families trying to reinvent themselves in the wake of d...

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: I Might be on Anderson Live

Yesterday was an interesting day. Work was fairly typical. After work I responded to an email I received looking for families who might want to get parenting advice from the Supernanny.  I've always liked the show. So, I responded. I'm online so much that I forgot about it as soon as I responded.

Anderson Live is looking for Families


On my drive home I received a call from a producer from Anderson Live. Ironically, the only reason that I answered the call is because I thought it was a friend of mine calling to ask me to hang out when I go to DC for the Inauguration. I was surprised that it was a producer who wanted to interview me for a television show.
 
She asked me why I wanted to speak to the Supernanny. I explained the parenting conflicts that Andre and I sometimes have.  They all stem from a fundamental disagreement about the maturity level of a two year old. Generally, I think that she's only two and still a baby. He thinks that she's just a tiny person and that she is fully capable of understanding everything. 
 
I have to wait to hear from the producer to see whether I'm selected for the show. If I am, I'd like for the Supernanny to weigh in on my conflict with Andre. Also, if you give me questions, I'll try to get your questions answered too!
 
Wish me luck!
