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.

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.

The Importance of Taking Vacations

on


Vacations are a time to refresh and renew. And, I highly recommend that you take the time to take one, even in these inflationary times! I recently traveled to Jamaica. I recognize that’s a luxury that not everyone can avail themselves of. However, we all have friends. If you can’t afford to take a vacation, visit a friend for a couple of days for a change of scenery, preferably, a friend with a pool!

Do Yourself a Favor, Take a Vacation

I don’t know about you. However, whenever I am at a pool, I feel like I am on vacation. During the pandemic, my parents pool was my saving grace. It gave me and my kids a respite from life’s drudgery and  was so much fun!

So, if you didn't get away when the kids were out of school, it is not too late! Don't listen to the naysayers, it is not too late to take a family vacation! In these last days of summer and even into early fall (climate change makes is possible), take advantage of a long weekend and get away for a change of scenery. Leaving home will clear your head, lift your spirits and allow you to reconnect with your family.

Just do it!

You can thank me later!
