A Secret to Success This New Year: Become Committed and Resilient

Mom and son celebrating the new year in the Bahamas in 2025! "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." – Confucius 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. 2025 was intense. I faced a convergence of pressures: the stress of navigating life as a single mom while paying considerable  alimony ,  an intensifying family situation since we lost my beloved aunt, my dad, and my cousin’s mom—work related stress—learning a new job after an imposed job change, all while navigating the rapid pace of raising my kids and trying to maintain a standard of living for them with fewer resources.

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!
