One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Wordless Wednesday: Back to School (#BackToSchool)

First day of school #BackToSchool

If you haven't heard, Back to School season is on and popping! For working moms, it is both the answer to our prayers and the cause of our problems. We know where our kids will be everyday all day without all of that camp planning. However, there are more activities and things to coordinate. So, it's a mixed bag.

What there is no conflict about is the cuteness and fun that is associated with the photos from the first few days. In these days, school is still a novelty, morning fights are fewer, and smiles are plentiful. Here are some moments that I captured.

Enjoy!
