One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Learn How to Overcome Mistakes

on
Boy enjoying Millie's ice cream!  #ParentingLessons 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. We have had quite a few two hour weather delays this school year. Generally, they are standard--albeit inconvenient. However, one stands out because it taught me an important lesson, "Trust but verify".

Celebrating a Sunny Day in Pittsburgh

on
A sunny day in Pittsburgh


As a working mom, my journey is full of twists and turns, and sometimes tears--generally out of frustration.
There are tears because I stubbed my toe trying to get out the door while carrying a baby and wrangling a toddler.  There are tears because my husband is away and I am alone for an entire weekend just want to use the bathroom without an audience.  There are tears because the worker at my daycare tells me that my baby cries every day at 5:00 PM because, "he's been here a really long time." There are tears when I confront heavy traffic. Hmm ... That sounds like a lot of tears.  Perhaps, it might also be hormones...



Then, there are days like today where I experience a perfect moment. The sun is shining in Pittsburgh, my kids are happy and I am smiling!
