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.

Wonderful Wednesday: Save Big at Brookstone!

on
I bought an iPad on Black Friday and since then I have been a bit obsessed with electronics.  I have never been an "techie". However, buying my  iPad has made me a believer.  It has added so much to my life. I haven't been this excited since my parents got cable TV when I was 16! (Back then, that was a big deal since they didn't let me go anywhere and nobody had the internet at home.)
Although my iPad has changed my life, I want more electronics.  In particular I am amazed at how cool my toddler finds all things that light up and make noise.  She likes the "adult toys" more than I do and definitely more than her baby toys.  Perhaps she'll become an engineer???
Anyway, I was thrilled when I found out that Brookstone is having a sale. If you need anything you should check it out. Look below for details on how to save big!

I'm not someone who needs the latest gizmo, but I've gotta say, having an iPhone has truly rocked my world.

I dropped by from #commenthour on Twitter. Nice to meet you! :)

I tend to be the one dragging and screaming into new technology. I do like my laptop but I really like to keep things simple.

In regards to keeping your house clean, I do 30 mins online and 10 offline. It works for me. You can read more about it on Mental Mosaic's blog or mine.

Peace,
Morgan

Except for laptop I have no technology. I mean, I have radios and cassette players but nothing that starts with an I-.

Housecleaning is always a challenge. Since my spouse is working on her writing I vacuum a lot and do kitchen work. I clean the bathrooms but space it out so I only do 20 minutes at a time.
