One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Motherhood The Naked Truth

on


The effort is takes to succeed as a working mom is extreme. We have two full time jobs and it's hard to succeed at both. However, succeeding is possible with planning and flexibility. I have an example of that last week before we moved in with my parents...


Creativity is required for working moms trying to do it all.


I wanted to cook dinner when I got home and I did. However, I never made it upstairs to change my clothes though. Instead, I took clothes off and spent most of the night in my camisole and underwear. I took my clothes off to to breastfeed because the baby is known to spit up and we're on a budget. So, I took off my clothes to try to avoid an unnecessary dry cleaning bill. After breastfeeding, I cooked dinner and got the kids ready for their baths, bathed them, and happened to look in the mirror. It was only then that I realized that I had been scantily clad for most of the evening.

I don't share this to be salacious. Indeed, there's no 50 Shades of Grey ending. My husband wasn't even home.

I share this to be real. Having it all ain't necessarily glamorous.  All of the photos of working moms has a woman fully made up wearing Diane Von Furstenberg and Louboutins. Considering how hard we're all working these days, I think even those women wind up making dinner in their underwear. However, their's might be La Perla.
