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

on
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.

How Working Families Can Afford a Disney Vacation: The Disney Vacation Plan (#DisneySMMC)

on
I am a part of Disney Social Media Moms. As part of this program I received a discount package to visit Disney World with my family. All opinions expressed are my own. 

Since becoming a member of Disney Social Media Moms I have become even more impressed with Disney as a company. Everyone knows that going to Disney World is a big deal. It truly is the most magical place on earth. And there is no place like it. That’s why the MVP of the Super Bowl looks so friggin’ excited when he says, “I’m going to Disney World!” (For a link to Hines Ward commercial, click here.)

For some people going to Disney World is a rite of passage. However, for many families, it can seem out of reach. Since I try to share information on this blog that helps families, I was really excited to learn that any family can visit Disney World with good planning, and Disney helps you do it.

The Disney Vacation Account


I believe that every child should have magical experiences. However, I know that working moms and dads have a lot of demands on their time and money. Sometimes, our best laid plans remain undone. Fortunately, a trip to Disney World does not have to fall into the "undone bucket". 

Because Disney has a savings plan.   

Families can establish a Disney Vacation Account and track progress towards the goal online. The kids can get involved by contributing birthday money, collecting cans, and even selling lemonade old school style. Mom and dad can contribute the money and watch it grow.


Everybody can get involved. Kids can learn sacrifice, discipline and saving. If you’re interested in learning more about the Disney Savings Account, click here.
