One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

on
In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary. For that reason, I have committed to making new friendships, keeping the old productive ones, and enjoying them all--in the midst of working, parenting, and adulting .

Friday Tip: “Free” Date Night in Pittsburgh (A Treat for Parents)

on
I know that at the beginning of the new year, and in this economy, a lot of us are committed to saving money. Does that mean that we have to sacrifice our good times? NO!

Blue restaurant in Allison Park is offering up free sushi as part of their Friday happy hour every week. You get unlimited access to the sushi bar from 5:30-7:00 PM on Fridays when you buy a drink. They generally offer a variety of sushi each week. Happy hour runs from 5-7 and also includes other affordable appetizers and drink specials--$5 martinis and wines.

For my swinging single followers, a date from 5-7 probably seems really early. However, for parents, especially those of us with toddlers who turn into pumpkins (or screaming little gremlins, at 8:30PM a date from 5:00PM-7:00PM is just right!

I have actually never been to Blue and they’re not paying me for this shout out. I’m just trying to help y’all have affordable fun. Also, I LOVE sushi and would eat it in LARGE quantities everyday if I could afford to. So, I’ll probably be checking this out sometime soon. To that end, you should probably go soon. They may stop this free promotion after I eat them out of house and home while sipping tonic water… 
You can also invite your friends and look like a big spender while spending very little. If you visit restaurant.com you can get a $25 certificates to use at Blue. Sometimes you can score these coupons for only $2.

If you go, let me know!
