Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! 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.

Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Babies, Bills and Surprises!

True confessions... Sometimes I use my cell phone as a baby soother.  Something about it puts her in a trance. She studies it like an she's an engineer trying to figure out how it works.

It's kind of funny actually.  She has three "baby cell phones", but she has little interest in them.  Somehow she seems to know that they're fake and she likes the real one.  I never let her play with it for long, but it can usually buy me 5-10 minutes of free time to do my makeup.


Well, I may learn my lesson for letting her play with it.  When I took it from her I saw a photo of some people who were clearly not us.  Upon closer inspection it was Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, their kids and Barbara Walters.  I have no idea how they wound up on my phone. 

My assumption is the baby downloaded their photo from the internet. Guess what, that's a problem. A HUGE problem.  I don't pay for the web package on my phone. My guess is that when I get my bill, I'll have a surprise. 

Note to mommy: only let the baby play with the landline phone!

You'll have to get a data plan. Your baby sounds too curious!

She seems to be both smart and curious. I wonder what other surprises she has in store for us?!

This was so funny. My daughter's son was in high school and texted a lot. The bill was $522.00
I hope your bill will be gentler.

If it's really high, try calling the company and explaining about the baby, once they stop laughing they'll probably give you a break.

LOL. I learned with Moo to keep my cell phone away from kids. She would be calling all sorts of numbers and clicking on the internet. Thank goodness, we have unlimited data and stuff because we would have been in for some surprise charges on our bill too.
