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.

Friday Tip: Enjoy a Cheap Date Night at Eddie Merlot's

At Eddie Merlot's
Sometimes, working moms need fun and a night away from there kids. And for me, nothing beats getting dressed up, going to a nice restaurant and having a martini--a Belvedere martini, straight up with three olives. I have learned that steak houses make the best martinis and one of the best ones around is Eddie Merlot's.


We've frequented Eddie Merlot's quite a few times and they never disappoint. One of the cool things about it is that Eddie Merlot's is a steak house that was decorated with women in mind. So, it's got great decor and great food! Currently, they are offering a three course special. I recommend that you check it out.

You can thank me later!
