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

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. "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. They are especially important for woking moms who spend so much time working to provide for their family that they may miss some of the "traditional" mom things like bake sales, volunteering at the book fair, and a host of actual and seemingly made up holidays.  They are also important for families trying to reinvent themselves in the wake of d...

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

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!
