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.

Working Mom Fun Tip: Taking Selfies Like Kim Kardashian (#LoveYourSelfie)

I was killing time at an event working on my elevator pitch and taking selfies.  I may need an intervention!
