One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world."— Susan Lieberman   Traditions have a way of defining a family, provide stability and give hope. They are especially important for woking moms who spend so much time working to provide for their family that they may miss some of the "traditional" mom things like bake sales, volunteering at the book fair, and a host of actual and seemingly made up holidays.  They are also important for families trying to reinvent themselves in the wake of d...

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Santa Claus Came to Town (#XfinityOnDemand)

Me with my iPad Mini 2


There are few surprises for moms during the holidays. Indeed, moms are the ones responsible for making other people’s dreams come true. We find the presents, buy the presents, and wrap the presents. We put the menus together, buy the food, make the food and clean up the kitchens. We are the ones responsible for creating the holiday magic. And while we do it gladly, it’s exhausting and we tend to know what’s coming. We are rarely surprised...



The wonderful note

They say that Santa Claus keeps tracks of who is naughty and nice and bestows presents upon those who are nice. Well, I guess I was a nice girl in 2014 because this Christmas, Santa Claus came to visit my house and I experienced the magic of Christmas. 

 In mid December Xfinity sent me a message on Twitter telling me that they had an iPad with my name on it. I thought it was spam until Christmas Eve. 

 On Christmas Eve I received a package and inside was a note and inside was an iPad Mini2 with a great note!

The iPad Mini2 in the box


Apparently the powers that be at Xfinity have a special place in there heart for working moms because the note said they sent me an iPad Mini2 to keep up with my favorite shows. This present will not only help me do that it will also allow me to have more peace in my house because we have another way to access the Internet, which means that there will be fewer fights in our house!

I haven't been this excited about Christmas since I was a kid. Ending the year like this makes me optimistic about the possibilities in store in 2015.

Thanks Xfinity!!!
