Family in Chautauqua   Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! In my world, 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.

Vicarious Sex Appeal...

on

I took in a movie a couple of Sundays ago. I went to a grocery store near the theater after the movie so that I could go home and lounge the rest of my Sunday away. Normally I would not have gone to that grocery store. However, like many detours in Chatón’s World, this detour resulted in a story…

I did my shopping and once again underestimated what I needed. So, as I approached the cashier, I struggled with my head down lamenting that I was carrying an overstuffed basket instead of gracefully pushing a cart. Then, I hear, “Your shoes are so sexy!” Instantly, I raise my head to see who noticed my shoes. I’ve always liked the shoes because they’re cute and comfy. But who knew that they were sexy?!

After raising my head I saw the most angel faced kid replete with braces and a smile ogling my shoes.

When I met his gaze he became embarrassed. He said, “I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say that at work!” Instead of lecturing him about appropriate workplace conduct, I just smiled. Then I thought, perhaps if he thinks the shoes are sexy maybe he thinks that I’m sexy?!

Then I looked at him again and snapped back to reality. He’s so young I’d go to jail… Still, I did bounce out of that store with an extra pep in my step. It’s always nice to get noticed, even if it is just for the shoes!
