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: Taking a Break at The Family House Polo Match (#FHPolo15)

At the Family House Polo Match
Generally my weekends are full of children and chores. However, on Saturday I actually made time to party with a purpose. I attended the Family House Polo Match (that provides a safe haven for families who have loved ones in the hospital) with my generous and chivalrous brother and we had a great time!


Sibling Time Rocks!

My brother scored the tickets because he is on the board with a very well connected Pittsburgher who also happens to work for my employer! Pittsburgh is the ultimate small world.) Having attended the event before, I was all about going again. Since Andre was working on the house, I arranged for a babysitter and I accompanied my brother to the event. 

I wasn't ready when he arrived,but he forgave me. I couldn't find my boots in my renovation half unpacked chaos, and I forgave myself. I vowed not to allow wearing sandals on a rainy overcast day ruin my parade and it didn't! 

I just decided to rock them like a boss, ignoring the fact that most of the other girls were practically dressed in their Hunter wellies.I even got a compliment for being stylish followed up by an invitation to judge a fashion show. Not bad for a second choice outfit, is it?!

My brother and I managed to attend the event, network with some of Pittsburgh's play makers (translation, I handed out some blog cards. You should hear my elevator pitch!) and have some good cocktails. All in all, it was a great event and we had a great time!
