A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

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. 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. 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.

Twitter Tuesday! (with correction)

It’s Tuesday again and moms are still Tweeting! So, I have more tweeting moms to profile.  So, here’s what I have I have found. 

There are moms living their lives and raising their children in the face of tremendous odds.  There are moms living la vida loca and others trying to turn their regular lives into celebrity ones. I found a mom who defines herself by her multicultural experiences, another who was single and now is married. There are moms who told the truth, mommies need sleep too.  We are not machines! 

There are the green moms, the Zen moms, and the moms who believe in positive thinking. All of the Tweeters are noteworthy, but a few deserve personal recognition.

One of the moms tweets about breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a commitment, especially when you are full time mom. Anyone helping moms with this responsibility is doing God’s work! I have yet to blog about my experiences as a breastfeeding mom, but stay tuned.  

I found my working mom twin. Being a full-time working mom presents a special set of challenges. You have two full time jobs. You are a full time worker and a full time mom.  There is no such thing as being a part-time mom. Being a mom is the only job without a vacation, but let’s be honest, even with all of the challenges, the benefit package rocks!

I idolize the moms who tweet that we do be anything—work, mother and be hot.  I shall sit at their altar trying to learn! If you're looking to learn some things, follow the ladies listed below!
