One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

on
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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion.

Power to the Mothers!

One of the cool things about having this blog is that I learn about so many interesting things.  And when I learn new things, I like to share them with my blog readers so that they too can be edified! :-)

I recently discovered an organization called, "M.O.T.H.E.R.S." (Mothers Ought to Have Equal Rights).  It is is a netroots community of mothers and other family caregivers who look after children or other dependent family members. It promotes social change to enhance the economic security of those who do carework, both exclusively or in conjunction with paid employment.

I'm not endorsing the organization and I am not affiliated with them.  (I'm a lawyer so you know I have to have a disclaimer.  I can't just say, hey this site is cool check it out like NORMAL people! :-)) Seriously, I like the principle of the organization.  Anybody who is working to support moms, help them become financially secure, and obtain equal rights is alright with me!

I think promoting security is a good goal.
