A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

on
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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: Just Another Sunday Afteroon

on
Here's our second video blogging venture.  Despite what you might think, I wear makeup and the toddler has more than one shirt!

Because I am technically challenged, for some reason it became harder for me to make the video this week than last week.  I lost the webcam icon on my computer and can't find it when I search for it on my computer.  Instead, I had to access the movie maker computer application on my Toshiba and make a video that way. It was a little more challenging but I did get the job done.

If I can figure out how to position my iPad and delay taping so you don't see me turning record on and off I'll start recording with the iPad. It's WAY easy to record. I've just had some challenges when recording myself.

Oh well, this blog is a work in progress. That's why I am attending the BlogHer12 conference this week. Hopefully, I'll learn lots of tips there to take this blog to the next level. I'll keep you posted!

Last week's video post was well received. Perhaps I'll start doing one every week.  Let me know what you think and/or share some tips.  Be mindful, I have a toddler. So, don't make your suggestions too complicated!

Wow, the vlog post came out great! I hear you about things not going as planned. This summer I've been very lax about when we get dressed, have meals, when/if we go out anywhere...come August I go back to work and I'm not looking forward to having to institute a rigid schedule. Fortunately, I'll be working 1/2 time, so we all can ease into the change.

Have a great day!
