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!

All is fair in love and baby contests (a/k/a "Go little ladybug go!!!)

Hi Blog Readers! My daughter is a finalist in the Pinxav Cutest Baby Contest on Facebook and she is in a distant third place.  Look at her photo, can you believe that?!  To correct this travesty, we need your help. 

The contest is simple.  The baby with the most LIKES wins.  However, be careful and like the correct photo. There has been some confusion. Unless my cousin's wife was so moved by another baby's photo, I'm not sure why her name is still assigned to another baby.  So, you be sure and "like" the ladybug.  After all, you're voting because you were so moved by the photos on this blog posting that you can't help but vote for the ladybug! :-)

Don't think that your vote doesn't count because it does. There are only three babies competing. So, it's anybody's game. And in the interest of full disclosure the other babies are cute too.  I just happen to be on Team Ladybug!

You must click on the ladybug photo and click "like". We're behind, but that is a small obstacle when you have a network of Good People and blog readers behind you (or at least I hope so)!  Everyone who votes for the ladybug gets a prize.  They get the joy of knowing that they helped teach her a lesson that I will surely write about and that is "we get by with a little help from our friends"!

Please use this link below to vote and to direct your friends to vote in the contest. The link is: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.294268830601483.86550.214203651941335&type=1&l=fdc857243c.   

Please have your friends vote too. The ladybug and her chauffers (otherwise known as her parents) thank you! 

Go little ladybug go!!! Go little ladybug go!!!  Go little ladybug go!!!

(Please let me know if you have any problems voting.)
