A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion.

Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Wordless Wednesday: Time With My Favorite Girl

I love spending time with my daughter. Now that she's 6, she's become quite the lady. She's fun to be around. She's engaging, funny--a real conversationalist. She reminds me a lot of myself, which is both amazing and scary! One "grown up" thing we did in 2016 was to attend a political event. I am so fortunate that our time together was captured by the talented Emmai Alaquiva. I would have been happy just to hang out with my girl. However, having our photo taken by an Emmy winning photographer was icing on the cake--times two! I LOVE this shot! Below are others he took from that day.

ENJOY!!!
