Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. 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.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

on
I like to acknowledge holidays on this blog.  However, in the interest of true confessions, we probably had the lamest Halloween in history in my house. We got no trick or treaters. We didn't put the baby in her costume. And as of yet, we haven't even eaten one morsel of candy.

We had grand hopes, but none were realized.  It was cold and rainy out that it didn't seem appropriate to take a one year old outside in the elements, no matter how much her father might love Halloween.

We're fortunate that her daddy took her to a Halloween party on Friday at the Children's Museum though.  Based on the smile in the photo below that was all of the celebration she needed!

Let me know how your Halloween evening's went.  Living vicariously through my blog readers... :-)

We went to a Halloween Festival at church. Stay about 15 mins then came home and got candy from the neighbors. It was too cold to spend hours rounding up candy. Plus, Moo has a peanut allergy and everybody seemed to giving out snickers and reeses.

YUMMommy, I give you credit for starting the holiday shopping early and in earnest. I half step it for a while and then panic. Maybe this year will be different? Last year I was on maternity leave so it was less frantic. Since I can't manage to swing that this year, I'll have to plan! Thanks for visiting Chaton's World. It sounds like the birthday parties will compensate for the Halloween!!! :-)http://chatonsworld.blogspot.com.
