Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

A Peek Into the Life of a Pittsburgh Mom: Presque Isle, the Hamptons of Western Pennsylvania...

As a working mom, I don't get to take as many vacations as I would like, even with my company's decent Paid Time Off policy. For that reason, we try to make our weekends special by enjoying our local treasures. 

For weekend trips, we have to rely on hotels since I don't own the beach house that I dream for, and I cannot jet away for the weekend to a place that has all of my clothes, is fully stocked with food and my favorite movies. As a transplant to Pittsburgh from North Carolina, I believed that I had to sacrifice going to the beach for the weekend.  That was before I discovered, Presque Isle in Erie. When Andre first told me about Presque, Isle, I thought it would be lame. However, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Presque Isle, the Hamptons of Western Pennsylvania




Presque Isle is the Hamptons of Western Pennsylvania.
It is a beach in Erie that is much better than one would ever suspect. It is beautiful and a fantastic place to play with the kids, cookout, and throw the football around. You can spend the day there and forget that you are in Pennsylvania! And if you stay at the Sheraton Bayfront, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the lake that really makes you feel like you took a true vacation. I encourage all Pittsburghers who love the beach to give Presque Isle a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
