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.

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.

That consideration motivated me to join Jack and Jill of America last month.  Among other things, Jack and Jill of America exists to promote:

Cultural awareness, educational development, health (education and advocacy), civic (legislative advocacy and service) and social/recreational areas. It also has promoted the public awareness and interests of children including child development, child growth, child quality of life, child care and the promotion of children’s rights.

In a word, Jack and Jill exists to help improve the lives of children. Because I am committed to doing that as well, I appreciate the help from the organization as a whole as well as the other mother members in giving my children better lives. Grateful that I have taken the step to expand my village to include this support for me and my children.

I have been acquainted with Jack and Jill for some time because those I am close to were either members or chose Jack and Jill for their families after they became moms. Above is a photo of my daughter and me from an event we attended last year. We had a great time and attending that event solidified my decision to join. I am a newbie. So, I still have a lot to learn. However, I am excited to share this organization with my fellow moms as we create opportunities for our children.

Stay tuned as I share more about our Jack and Jill adventures!

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
