One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Keep Your Arms Out to Receive Blessings

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. The lesson I have learned recently is that the universe has reminders of the goodness that exists, we just have to look for them.  Life can test us in the most intense ways — and recently I have experienced that intensity. It’s been a season filled with emotional strain, logistical juggling, and moments where I question the laws of physics and fairness. But in the middle of this chaos, I have experienced some extraordinary, blessings that embodied grace-- when I least expected it.

Wordless Wednesday: "Working Girls" for Christmas

Working Girls


Everyone knows that this blog is focused on issues facing working moms. Every once in a while though, I am compelled to share something for the pure humor of it.
Our daughter bought some things at her schools holiday bazaar. Mostly, she got presents for her friends and family. However, she also bought a couple of dolls for herself. It was sweet because she was so proud of her purchases. That said, I am convinced that these dolls look like they are true "working girls", you know the kind who earn their living in the red light district. The one on the right even looks like she's been beat up. Although, I suspect that the baby merely smudged her face with marker...

What do you think?!
