Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

on
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. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

Summer memories of years gone by...

A mom with two kids on a stoop

This photo reminds me of when I was so happy to be a mom of two chilling at my friend Jules' house on a warm Memorial Day afternoon. I was confident, felt reasonably in control and the sun was shining in Pittsburgh, so that was cause to celebrate. We still had a nanny then... (To learn about our post-nanny life, click here.)

Also, I thought we looked pretty cute! 

The current brood

So much has happened since that day. My family has grown. We no longer have a nanny. Having three kids has definitely humbled me--especially without the extra set of hands. I now know that times can be enjoyed with less sunshine. I have learned that moms of three never chill. And, I have discovered that my capacity to love exceeds my prior expectations. 

Still, I do think we look pretty cute! :-)
