A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Working Mom News: I am Attending the United State of Women Summit (#StateofWomen)


As you know, part of the reason I maintain this blog is to contribute to the national conversation about gender equality. Well, in addition to my blog readers, President Obama has been listening (or at least his people have)!

I was honored to learn that I have been selected to attend an upcoming event, "The United State of Women Summit". It's an event designed to convene thought leaders, government officials, and concerned citizens to discuss gender equality. I'm super excited to be selected. And I cannot wait to participate in this event.

Official Announcement:
