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!

Musings about Monday

Monday was a great day albeit a chilly one. After working a full day I returned home and scooped up the baby. She and I went shopping for a few clothes.

Moms, if you haven't discovered the Baby Depot Burlington Coat Factory, stop reading this blog and go! Burlington consistently has good quality, low cost, baby clothes. They carry the Carter's brand, which produces such quality things. They also carry supplies. You can get nursing supplies, laundry detergent and even cribs.  Whatever you need they've got it and generally much cheaper than other places, even the online outlets.  I  generally do a decent amount of online shopping because you can't beat the convenience. However, last night I made it out to a real store!

We also made it to Five Below where I was able to score some Easter supplies. I found cute cards and some favors that I tend to distribute at the National Aviary Breakfast with the Easter Bunny event this Saturday.  Since I'll be around so many moms, I might as well promote the blog, don't you think?!
