One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

on
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. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Toddler Tales: Potty Training

on
Mommy:              Do you have to go potty?


Toddler:               No.  (passes gas)


Mommy:              (sniffing.  Smelling something that’s not very fresh.)

Mommy:              Do you have to go poopy?!

Toddler:               Yes.

Mommy frantically gets the toddler on the toilet.

Toddler:               I went poopy!

Mommy:              Are you all done?

Toddler:               All done! I want to take a picture.

Mommy:              A picture?

Toddler:               Yes, of the poopy!

Mommy:              Shaking my head and thinking, “Perhaps I have taken this--blogging, constant picture taking—thing too far. Clearly my child thinks that everything is a "Kodak moment"!
