One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

A Working Mom Weekend: A trip to Galleria Mall (Part I)

on
Like most working moms I try to make the most of my weekends.  I try to make my kids realize that all mommies are engaged, whether they work outside the home or not.

The only problem with that is it puts a lot of pressure on me to make the weekends special.  As I plan, I sometimes forget that special to my kids may mean something different.

Today,  special to them meant sleeping in the car...


We were headed to Winter Picnic & Kids Expo at Galleria Mall. I made a wrong turn though. So it took a long time to get there.  By the time we arrived, both kids were asleep. So, "special" became me working on a book chapter and them sleeping in the back seat. I had to make the most of it!
