One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Holiday Traditions: Cookies

on
I’m not Martha Stewart, but I do try to make the holidays special for those I love.  I bake cookies, lots of them. I usually bake about twenty dozen cookies and mail them to family and friends all over the country.   At least that is what I did before the baby.
Last year I never managed to bake cookies. This year I baked some cookies and intended to mail them to family and friends.  However, those intentions were not realized. 
Time got away from me.  I never made it to the post office in time to share my cookies with anyone outside of Pittsburgh. Oh well, that left more cookies for us here!
I shared the cookies with my colleagues and those who attended my parents' Christmas Eve party.  They seemed to really like them. I think that my cookie baking project can still be considered a success.
What do you think???
