Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: The Weekend

on
Sandbox fun

As a working mom my weeks are jam packed. For that reason, I love my weekends!

 Last weekend we got to have family time. And family time is always good! Lately family time is a rare commodity. We closed on our new home in need of renovations on April 11, 2014, three weeks after our son was born. Andre has been doing those renovations himself. That means that I’ve spent nearly every night and weekend since alone with the kids. I’ll resist the urge to say that I understand what single moms feel like. I know they bear a burden that I don’t understand. Still, it has been hard.

I won’t bore you by articulating how hard it’s been. It’s hard to explain without sounding like I’m whining. Also, everybody has their problems and those problems are significant to them. This past weekend though, it was almost like things were back to normal. We spent our Saturday hanging out. We had lunch together, hung out at his parents house and hosted family for dinner. Sunday was a bit of the same.

This weekend let me see that the end is in sight. And that makes me very happy!
