One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

on
Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion. They help us define who we are; they provide something steady, reliable and safe in a confusing world."— Susan Lieberman   Traditions have a way of defining a family, provide stability and give hope. They are especially important for woking moms who spend so much time working to provide for their family that they may miss some of the "traditional" mom things like bake sales, volunteering at the book fair, and a host of actual and seemingly made up holidays.  They are also important for families trying to reinvent themselves in the wake of d...

Mommy Mondays: Crime Fighting Mom Inspires Me!

on

A lot of people say that working moms are super women. We take those comments in stride and keep it moving. Secretly, I sometimes look at what I’ve accomplished in a given week and take great pride. It is rare, but sometimes I feel like I rock!

There are other times when I feel as if I am drowning in toys, struggling to keep my house clean and barely treading water at work. I also sometimes feel deeply conflicted about working and mothering, especially when I leave the house and my daughter is in tears. When those weeks are combined with lazy days, when I choose to sleep until 7:00 AM instead of waking to blog or run, I feel downright slovenly!

Anyway, I digress.

This Mommy Monday isn’t about whining. It is about celebrating!
I recently read about a mom who is not only a psychotherapist and marathoner, she is also a B-A-D-A-S-S!
She chased down a thief who was trying to steal her husband’s bike from their home.  She saw the crime going down and instantly acted. I think that she was prepared to beat him down. He must have thought so too because he abandoned the bike and fled. All I can say is “GO MOM”!!!
Note to criminals: Don't *bleep* with moms!!!

(Advice to this mom, even though I’m impressed, next time, let him keep the bike. He might be a crazed lunatic!!!)
