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.

Working Mom Tip: Save at The Pittsburgh Children's Museum!!! (#PGHKIDS)

on
We have a membership to the Children's Museum and it more than pays for itself. Indeed, it is among the best money that I have ever spent.  In exchange for the cost of the membership my daughter has made countless memories and experienced a million smiles!
 

The Magic of the Children's Museum

 
The management plans carefully to implement programming that educates and engages children. My daughter goes there several days a week and LOVES it! Recently they created a Clifford, the Big Red Dog exhibit. Among other things the exhibit has Clifford himself, live and in color. Nothing makes a kid happier than a big red cartoon character live and in person. As you can see from my daughter's face below, she is smitten by Clifford (perhaps less so with the camera though... :-))
