A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: A Newsletter Appearance (#TBT)

on


To say that my family and I LOVE the Pittsburgh Children's Museum would be a huge understatement. We're contributors. We're regulars. Our daughter even attended preschool there. Indeed, we may have set a record for consecutive days in attendance. We are there a lot. 


Well, recently, we attended an event, the premier of the Very Eric Carle Exhibit. I even wrote about our attendance, not because I was compensated, but because we LOVE that place! For a link to that post click here. We thoroughly enjoyed that party. It was a real treat to experience the museum in a different more private way, especially since I had both kids there by myself. 

Well I was surprised and overjoyed to see that my son and I were featured in the Pittsburgh Children's Museum's September newsletter. Above is our photo and here's a link to the newsletter. Click here.
