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!

Tonight President Obama delivered the State of the Union.  Regardless of your political affiliation you have to be proud that we live in a country where the president can address both houses and express his vision of America.  And, if you are proud to live in America you should be proud that we all have an opportunity to listen to him safely.  It may be a stretch, but listening to the State of the Union made me proud that the Constitution protects my first amendment right to Tweet.  I am not sure if that’s what the founding fathers had in mind, but I’m not one to let a privilege go to waste.

Below is a list of women who are exercising their free speech rights on Twitter as well.  Where else but America could Jennifer Marshall proudly call herself @nuckingfutsmama?  I love her wit and her humor. I wish that I had thought of that name! I have found other women who are committed to helping us become more organized, live happier and healthier lives, and achieve balance. Another mom admits that her children actually rule the roost.  Ain’t that the truth!

Finally, I would like to recognize @SJM_CookiesMom who helped me finally cross the 800 Twitter follower mark.  She is a wonderful an example of moms helping moms!

Great points! Who knew 200 some years ago that the country's future would include things like the Internet, Twitter, blogs, Pinterest.... I can't even imagine it without our First Amendment rights.

On a sidenote, my friend recently moved to DC and she said all of the preparation yesterday before the State of the Union Address was incredibly exciting!
