One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world."— Susan Lieberman   Traditions have a way of defining a family, provide stability and give hope.

Free Event: Pittsburgh Children's Festival

Come by Schenley Park for the Children's Festival. It's free and lots of fun for the kids.

We took her out at nap time to attend the drum show. At first she was scared. The music was loud and the lights were flashing. I don't know what she was thinking, but she needed some time to process it. Once she got into the groove she started to feel it!

Let it be known. My daughter likes to move! The next thing we knew she had run up front and started dancing! She developed a fan base.

One woman came up to me and said, " she's found her calling!"

I think we may have a rising star on our hands, or at least a girl who likes to dance!

Make your way down soon. The festival ends tomorrow!

If you go, check out the Mirazozo exhibit. It's this peaceful light exhibit. It's a great experience, very Zen. We all enjoyed it. Be forewarned though. You have to take off your shoes before you enter the exhibit. I'll try to upload some photos soon! Mirazozo
