Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

Wordless Wednesday (not really): How frozen rice saved dinner...

Dinner made in an electric skillet with Trader Joe's Organic Jasmine Rice
As you can see from the photo below, our kitchen is in disarray because of home renovations. We have been remodeling for going on two years and the kitchen remains unfinished. I have heard a rumor that my life will change this weekend. However, I've been enduring this hardship for so long that I am afraid to hope...

The end product

Coping Without Having a Stove


That said, I have managed to provide my family with healthful meals through planning, ingenuity, and the array of options that are at Trader Joe's. I have to tell you that the frozen Organic Rice pictured below might be one of the best inventions ever. The only ingredient is "organic jasmine rice", you microwave it and it is perfect every single time. It is a time saver and life saver if you have no stove. I might continue to buy it for emergencies after the kitchen is done.

Let me know if you try it!
