Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

Free Family Friendly Events This Fall

Family enjoying fall
Fall is a great time of year. It's cool enough outside to rock cool fashion. However, it is warm enough that you don't have to cover that fashion with coats. You also have the opportunity to create some great fall memories with your kids. While all memories are special, I have to say those you can create for free have a special sort of appeal.
See below for a list of some free family friendly events in Pittsburgh,
