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. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. 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.

Thank You Serena Williams!

This week Serena Williams lost at Wimbledon, but that is not the story. The story is that Serena Williams competed at Wimbledon less than ten months after giving birth to her daughter and about eight months after having significant pregnancy related complications. By competing, she gave hope to working moms every where. She made us expand our thoughts about life's possibilities and about what it means to be a mom simply by competing. 


And, then, when she lost, she let us know that she was fighting for us. She demonstrated such grace and humility when she said, "I was really happy to get this far. For all the moms out there, I was playing for you today." Serena, we saw you. We cheered for you. And, we thank you. Thank you for playing for us and for re-defining what it means to be a working mom!
