A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Wordless Wednesday: My Daughter and I at The UPMC Children's Ball

on

A few weeks ago, my family had the opportunity to attend the UPMC Children's Ball. (To see how we rocked it last time, click here.) We had attended previously. However, this time was super special because we had two kids this time and because it was the beginning of Spring Break.

Unfortunately, our two kids often run in different directions and neither the boy nor his father would come over and pose for the Snapshot photo booth with us. Accordingly, we posed without them. See the results below!
