A Secret to Success This Back to School Season: Make Everyone Feel Loved

Family in Chautauqua   Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! In my world, 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.

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 l...

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogger Mom: Enjoying The Last Days of Summer

This summer has been great, even with our childcare and car troubles. I've been really impressed by how Andre and I have handled each challenge and managed to keep smiling through them. 
 
Although he wouldn't articulate it in this way, if he were pressed about it, Andre would admit that we are extraordinarily blessed. The troubles we've had are the type that can be solved with money and planning.  I'd choose those types of problems any day.  (Although if God happens to read this blog, please know that I could use without any problems of any sort for a while.  I'm just saying...)
 
Today, we donned our bathing suits and spent some time at the pool with friends. Although the day started out overcast, eventually the clouds parted, the sky became blue again, and the sun shined brightly.  Since we live in Pittsburgh and don't know how many sunny days are in store we capitalized on the opportunity and went to the pool. 
 
There are few things as enjoyable as a day at the pool on a sunny day and this day did not come up short.
 
It was a glorious day! The toddler loves the water.  She floated in her little floatation device, put her feet in the water, and enjoyed having a carefree day at the pool. Even though every day is carefree for her, she still really enjoys a special occasion or a vacation. Our girl likes to party!  We think it's cute at 23 months.  I hope we remember that when she's 16...
 
Although today is National Cherry Popsicle Day, the toddler topped off her celebration of a sunny summer day with a lemon Popsicle! And she couldn't have enjoyed it more!
 
Here's a video after our day at the pool.  Enjoy!!!
