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.

Mommy Mondays: Family Photos From the Weekend!

on
Here is a peek into Chaton's World. I spent the weekend doing things I love to do. I got the opportunity to appear on television on PCNC "Night Talk" and I believe that I represented myself well. I am hopeful that it will lead to more opportunities.

I also had the opportunity to have some great family time. As I mentioned previously, on Saturday, we attended the Children's Festival in Pittsburgh and enjoyed ourselves. I am hopeful that it will lead to more opportunities... :-)

Of course the toddler had a tantrum, but that goes with the territory. Since we have a great kid, her tantrums are shortlived. So, the fun definitely outweighs the problems. Still, I know that a standoff is imminent.  I need to get my game up though. Right now, I think that she could take me!

Below are photos of the weekend. I hope that you enjoy them. I had a great time!

This is me, Rod Doss, Khari Mosley, and Ed Gainey after our appearance on PCNC "Night Talk" this past Friday night. It was a great show. Check it out on the "Best of Night Talk"!
