Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round 

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: Schedule Disruption

I had planned to spend this week blogging about my preparation for the BlogHer12 conference. I intended to write about the clothes I was packing, my new business cards, and my strategy for maximizing my enjoyment at the conference. However, since this is Chaton's World and not reality TV things have not gone on schedule.

Our household has been turned upside down this week.  For clarity, Andre and I are not breaking up. Other than the usual laundry that needs to be folded, he and I are happy. The toddler is not sick. Indeed, other than the occasional tantrum, her life is good and she is happy. Also, nobody is unemployed. I actually got promoted recently and Andre is happily with the same company he's been with for the past decade.

Our nanny has been unexpectedly gone this week and her absence has sent our world into a tailspin.  I have just been trying to keep up. And I fear that I haven't been doing it very well.

So, please forgive me and stay tuned. I hope to be back on schedule soon!

My life gets in the way as many days as not. And one thing I never internalized before having a kid was that if the child care falls through, the whole day/week follows suit. Sometimes, ok, not really that often, but occasionally, I'm really envious of women who work for huge companies that have back up child care.
Mari, I am ALWAYS jealous of those women. Those companies have got it right. It is SO frustrating that there isn't more support for working parents. I'm telling you, you and I need to start a revolution! Seriously...
