One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Celebrate the Seasons With Traditions

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. "Family traditions counter alienation and confusion.

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!
