A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

on
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.

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!
