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!

The joys of autumn...

on

Autumn has finally descended upon Pittsburgh, effectively ending my summer romance. Amazingly, I have found new things to love.

The foliage is absolutely spectacular! The trees are full of reds, oranges, and rust colored leaves. They are so beautiful that I can only hope that I can find a dress in one of those colors.

Being able to breathe freely without the humidity is a welcome relief. I might be inspired to take up running again. Also, the clear, crisp air allows for more expanded wardrobe options.

You're probably surprised to hear me talk about autumn with such affection given my recent love affair with summer. What can I say, I'm fickle! :-)

Also, you know how romance goes. When you're in the midst of it, you are blind to its faults. However, after it's over, you have a chance to gain some persepctive. And perspective has a way of making you realize that you shouldn't limit yourself.

As much as I loved summer, I am looking forward to feeling the cool air kiss my cheeks, smelling the burning of leaves, and hearing the rustling of the trees...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
