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. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy.

Mommy Mondays: The benefit of good cosmetics

on
I returned from a business trip on Saturday afternoon. I'll be posting more details about that later. However, for now, I wanted to share what my return to work on Monday was like.
 
I began the day with a meeting. A friend looked at me and said that I looked tired. I told her about my trip. Then I confessed the secret to my usual youthful, bright eyed look—Laura Mercier “Secret Camouflage” concealer.  I pulled back the veil and let her know that while I may have good genes, I generally have a little bit of help. 
I also confessed that I sometimes don’t manage to do it all. I wasn’t wearing my concealer because I hadn’t unpacked from my trip and the “Secret Camouflage” was buried somewhere in my luggage. 
By the end of the day, I realized that it wasn’t just the missing cosmetics. I was really tired and probably coming down with something. I took a bunch of vitamins and crashed on the couch at 7:30 PM and only woke up at 9:00 PM to put the toddler to bed. God bless Andre for taking care of bath time.
I’ll keep you posted about my progress beating this cold! (Also, I need to make sure that I use my "Secret Camouflage" so that my fatigue remains a secret.)
