Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast.

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.

Working Mom Tales: Thankful Thursday!

on
It's Thursday morning and it is an absolute beautiful day in Pittsburgh! So there is lots to be thankful for.  However, I think that I'll take a moment to whine, just a little...

I'm still a little behind on my blog posts as you can tell. If you were looking for a Wednesday Word of Wisdom, I am sorry, but I neglected to post one.  It will post today. And although it won't be on Wednesday I do hope that you benefit from the quote nonetheless.

You may wonder why I'm not posting it right now.  Well, I am typing this entry remotely. I took a cab to work this morning because I remain carless.  It's really amazing at how creative you have to be when you don't have your car. 

Since my car died I have literally taken planes, trains, and automobiles!  I like the New York subway. It's efficient and makes sense.  I have decided that public transportation everywhere else does not always make sense.  It has its own vocabulary, rules, and etiquette.  As a spoiled person with a car for my entire adult life I was ignorant of how it all worked.  Now, I get it.  And while I believe that it is a necessary community resource, I know that I shall count my blessings every day once I have a car again. 

Did I mention that we have to buy another car???  Yeah, the transmission gave out.  For all of you "non-car" people, transmissions cost tons of money and it's often better to buy another car instead of replacing it, especially when your car is over twelve years old like mine.

Oh well, I shall post my words of wisdom when I am back at my "real" computer.  Until then, have a great day and enjoy your world!
