One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

on
Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Even Though it is Fall, You can Still Enjoy Pittsburgh Parks

Me and my kids

“In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

During the pandemic, I did quite a few projects with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy to inform people that even in the face of the pandemic fears, the parks remained a safe place to convene. I participated in this collaboration because visiting the parks helped our family cope during a very difficult time. Indeed, for awhile, it was the only place that we could go to entertain ourselves. 

I was honored that they interviewed me and the kids during the pandemic. And, I showed up with pandemic hair and all!

Still, even though the pandemic is over, we still enjoy Pittsburgh Parks and so can you. Indeed, with the price of food, real estate, and essential goods, families need ways to have fun without breaking the bank. And,  spending time at the parks is a great way to enjoy family fun during these inflationary times. (You can also let your kids run around, tire them out, and have an enjoyable evening after putting them to bed!)

See below from a press release from the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. I recommend that you make a trip to one this weekend. You won't regret it!
