A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Working Mom Tip: Dr. Seuss Books--On Sale!


 
 
Reading to your child is one of the best ways that you can build closeness and teach your child to have a love to reading. And one of the most beloved authors for children is Dr. Seuss.
 
Indeed, since his birthday was earlier this month, 'tis the season for Dr. Seuss! (Below is a link for you to take advantage of the deal noted above.)
 

Let's Celebrate Dr. Seuss By Promoting Reading!


You've probably already heard that it was DR. SEUSS's birthday on March 2nd, and that it was READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY on March 1st. But, there's still time to tap into Dr. Seuss mania :)

Here’s a great deal on Dr. Seuss books. They make great gifts for showers, birthday and would be great in an Easter basket! Every child should have a set of Dr. Seuss books on their shelves at home, right? Mine does. We were fortunate to get a set as a shower gift from some very wise mommy friends who understood that once kids hit the toddler years, nothing beats Dr. Seuss. My daughter requests “Cat in the Hat” so much that I have hidden the book and only bring it out for special occasions!

So, if you’d like to fill a child’s life with endless hours of pleasure, buy these Dr. Seuss books!
