A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: Blogger Gratitude (#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.   

Blogger Gratitude

Now I lay me down to sleep

I thank Verizon for this Samsung Tab to keep

If I should die before I wake

I thank Verizon for this cool Tab to take (my notes, Tweets and emails)

Thank you Verizon for introducing me to the other Verizon Wireless Moms and for this awesome device.

Two weeks in and it has already impressed me with the following:

1.      The clear screen

2.      Collaboration with my Samsung Galaxy Phone

3.      The awesome 4G speed

4.      The Wi-Fi Hotspot features that has expanded my internet coverage

5.      The size of the device. It’s small enough to fit in my clutch and I recently took it to a party!

Being a Verizon Wireless Mom has already been a cool blogger blessing and a lot of fun. Stay tuned for the other things that I uncover!
