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.

Working Mom Reflections: Sunday Dinner With My Mom

I'm no Martha Stewart, but I do like to throw down on Sundays when I can. Like I said last week, my grandmother established a great tradition of Sunday dinners. So, when Sunday rolls around, I do feel like I've missed something if we didn't have a family dinner. Normally, I am more than comfortable with that feeling. However, today, my mother was in town. So, I had to cook. (I cooked last week too. Click here if you'd like to read about it.)


Also, she kept our kids last night and most of the day. I think that was to ensure that I'd have no excuse than to prepare dinner! ;-)

Her comment, "This is delicious!" In my family, that is high praise indeed.

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!!!

Here's a video describing what I made.  Enjoy!
