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

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 Life of a Working Mom: The Chick-Fil-A "A List" (#CFAPittMoms)

I don't know where that belief stemmed from, but it may have been my maternal grandmother who had a unique way of getting ALL people to accede to her requests. By all people, I mean waiters, strangers and even politicians!  

In any event, I have been on a lifelong quest to get VIP treatment. So, I was surprised and amazed that I had never heard about the Chick-Fil-A® "A List Program" until I became a part of the Chick-Fil-A® Blogger Ambassador Program. What I have learned about the program so far has been really impressive.

The A-List is a premier program meant to honor the best and most loyal Chick-Fil-A®customers. This program may not be everything, but it does give you access to some pretty cool things. The company hopes that this program will allow your Chick-Fil-A® Operator to get to know you at an even deeper level and be able to better care for you when you visit Chick-Fil-A®. It can also give you the opportunity to learn about promotional events.

Last night, my family and I were guests of Chick-Fil-A® at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. What I learned is that the  Chick-Fil-A operators are not only nice, they also know how to party! In addition to the normal venue activities there was face painting, a photo booth, and a DJ. My kids rocked out so hard that they didn't even want to leave. And they were not alone. All of the kids had a ball.


I'll keep you posted about the next event. Hope to see you there!
