One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Make Family Events More Enjoyable With Friends

Better Together: Why Inviting Another Family Makes Activities More Fun #FamilyFun Sometimes family activities can feel like another item on the to-do list. However, doing those activities with another family makes them more fun! Whether it’s a trip to an amusement park , a visit to the local pool , or trip to a pumpkin patch , including another family can multiply the fun in amazing ways. One of my favorite moms to collaborate with is my friend, Ayana Ledford who's pictured above with her daughter Sahar. We have done all of the things listed as seemingly random examples above and here is how including her and her daughter (and sometimes her son too) has made the events more fun. On the date above, Ayana almost left the venue because parking was a nightmare. That said, she hung in there and we would up having a great time!

Halloween ain't just for kids!

Sometimes you need a reminder that things don't have to be serious all of the time.

This past Friday night I attended a Halloween costume party. Costumes and positive attiudes were both required.

I attended as "Go Go Cat", a newly invented superhero. It's amazing how creative one can become with a wig, a mask, and a pair of gold tights! :-) While Go Go Cat's specific special powers have yet to be identified, she has been known to conquer the dance floor in a single bound!

Others relied on more identifiable and well known celebrities, characters, and in some case, insects. As you can see from the photo, we had the big bad wolf and a beautiful bee. We also were visited by Shaquille O'Neal, Julius Caesar, and Cat Woman, just to name a few.

To top off the party there was crunk music and witches brew. All in all, it was a good time. It reminded me that even though we're not in college anymore, we can still kick it!

That party was the bessssstttt Halloween costume party EVER!!!! I have never seen a gathering with such boo-tiful people inside and out, ful of positive energy, laughs, fun, and not to mention "goulish" food. Perfect. I agree, live shouldn't be taken so seriously and Halloween is no longer for the kiddies. It should be an annual event. "Go Go Cat" was adorable too. Keep that mask - it might have nine lives! LOL
