One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

on
In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted. Creating space for new relationships and making new friends as a single, working mom, and creating space is not easy. But it is necessary. For that reason, I have committed to making new friendships, keeping the old productive ones, and enjoying them all--in the midst of working, parenting, and adulting .

A Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: My Feature in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

on
In the midst of all of the excitement going on with our childcare situation and my car I learned that my blog was going to be featured in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.  They have a new section called, "The Playground" where they feature blogs and this week they chose mine!

It turns out the editor of that section also has a daughter. And, motherhood tales are  the ties that bind. She related to my post, "Look Before You Leap" when I described how my daughter jumped out of her crib one morning and the guilt and anxiety I felt about it.  Being a guilt-ridden mom who's afraid that she's responsible for doing something to scar her kid for life is a universal experience.  Fortunately for moms kids are more resilient than we think they are!

At the BlogHer'12 conference last month they encouraged us to obtain media coverage for our blog.  So, I am thrilled that the Post-Gazette decided to give this mommy blogger a chance. I can cross something off of my things to do list.  Also, being featured in the biggest newspaper in our region is an honor and it bolsters my spirits. It also reminds me that the best is yet to come!

Happy Friday!!!
