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...

Last Minute Holiday Gifts: Princess Cupcake Jones Book Series

on
Princess Cupcake Jones Books

Books make excellent holiday gifts. And I have the perfect one for the little girl in your life. The “Princess Cupcake Jones” series will appeal to every little girl’s inner princess and teach her universal lessons including how to take care of her things, how to use good manners, and how to meet new friends.

I was asked to review these books this summer. While I have been delinquent in preparing my review, I have been reading the books to my daughter ever since. It's an understatement to say that she LOVES these books. And I love them too.


Princess Cupcake Jones is a cute little princess and her mama is a queen. She has a head full of beautiful curls. She is rarely seen without her tiara or her tutu. Indeed, she is little girl of color who loves bright, shiny, things and things that sparkle. 

If you follow this blog, you know that description sounds a lot like my daughter, which is why she relates so much to these books. Indeed, my daughter has never met a tutu that she didn't like. She also has an affection for crowns. It is as if she know that she descended from royalty!


One day I did her hair and she exclaimed, "I look just like Cupcake Jones!" That was a happy day for all of us. It can so hard to find fairy tales featuring little girls of color. So that is a huge plus. More than that though, the books are well written and have very relatable messages. I highly recommend that you add these books to your gift list. There is time to get them in time for Christmas too. I promise, you won't be sorry!

You can obtain a copy of the book through this link via Amazon: Princess Cupcake Jones Books
