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

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.

Wordless Wednesday: Help From My Mommy Village

Everyone knows it takes a village to raise a child. I've even given a shout out to my village on this blog previously. (Click here to read about it.) Indeed, one of the reason I am able to do it all a lot is because family, our caregiver and other moms help me out. Today, I missed an awards ceremony at my daughter's school because of miscommunication and a minor family crisis. However, because of the kindness of another mom, I did not miss out entirely. 


Below are some photos of our girl at the ceremony wearing her UVA outfit taken by my friend, Julie (compliments of my cousin Korine)--very fitting! :-) 

Julie, I owe you one!!!
