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!

Twitter Tuesday: Moms to follow!

It is Tuesday and I am paying homage to some of the wonderful ladies I have met on the Twittersphere. One honorable mention is Tia Mowry, a wife, mother, and talented actress. I also recently learned that she has achieved one of my dreams. She is a published author.  She turned her pregnancy experience into a book to help other women.  It’s called “Oh Baby!”. I am happy for her but jealous! J 

The other ladies mentioned have stars that are still rising.  Some of them are gorgeous, dynamic and stylish. Others are generous, driven, and sensitive.

They manage homes. They work at home. They work outside of the home. They are married. They are single. They have children. They are hopeful. They are irreverent. They tell us to find something to believe in so that life has more meaning. And they tell us to make sure that we have wine to make the journey more enjoyable. One has the confidence to call herself a “kickass wife”.  (I want some of that!) Another believes that thinking parents are better parents. And like me, one is simply a working mom who is trying to stay organized.  (She may be doing a better job than I am though.)

In a word, they represent every woman. And I am honored to “Tweet” them!
