One Secret to a Working Mom's Success: Keep Standing

Me, standing in Barbados Those of us who live our lives out loud on the internet subject ourselves to scrutiny. Some comment, "Nobody's life is perfect. These posts must be fake," Those making those comments might even be close to us because they "know our business" and they whisper and gossip and say, "she's so fake".  To those who may read my blog and make such comments, (the trolls) know that I hear you, see you, and completely disagree. 

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

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!
