One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday (not really)...

This is what it looks like when my husband takes photos... It was taken yesterday. I asked him to take it because I wanted him to capture a moment. I was wearing a pair of suede shorts that my mother wore in college. She handed these shorts down to me and I also wore them in college. And because I am a pack rat, frugal fashionista who believes in wearing vintage clothing, I still have the shorts and I wore them yesterday. I was also wearing them because I am a busy working mom whose husband put the majority of my fall/winter clothes into storage in April after we closed on a house that we haven't moved into yet...

While some of you may question why I was wearing a Friday outfit on a Tuesday and others may be questioning why an attorney would be wearing suede shorts to the office at all, I encourage you to focus on the real issue.  I was wearing shorts that I wore in college and I had a baby seven months ago. I was kind of pumped about it and I hope you are too! :-)

(My daughter is in the very blurry photo because she bombed me. Who knows perhaps she'll wear the shorts one day too!)
