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’m a Verizon Wireless Moms Voices Ambassador! #VZWVoices #Mom

I am participating in the Verizon Moms Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.  

There is news. Then there is "I am so excited I can barely contain myself in public" news. I have that kind of news to share. I started out blogging as a way to inform my friends in North Carolina about my life in Pittsburgh. Nobody read the blog unless I told them about it and that was fine with me.

Well something happened on the way to the delivery room. When I became pregnant I decided that I had information to share that would benefit other women and to my great luck, more people actually started to read it. Recently, I have also gained the interest of brands—small and national—who would like to collaborate with me. It’s been an exciting time and it’s given me an opportunity to serve as a trusted filter for my readers.

Recently, Verizon selected me to be a “Verizon Wireless Voices Ambassador”. It’s a cool opportunity because I’ll get to try out a couple Verizon devices and get my technology game up. I’ll also be able to share what I learn with all of you. I will find out what the devices are tomorrow at a Verizon sponsored event. I’ll keep you posted. Until then, take care!

Trust me, while I am excited by this opportunity, all of the opinions that I share will be my honest opinions.
