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!

And the winner is... (Giveaway Results)

The giveaway promotion with "East End Eden" was a tremendous opportunity for me as a blogger. Some bloggers giveaway things all of the time, but this was my first foray into the giveaway space. It is true what they say, giveaways increase your blog traffic lie no other. I think that it's because the only thing that Americans like better than Reality TV is free stuff.

I decided to take the plunge for the reason that most bloggers succumb to the lure. I wanted to increase my blog traffic. However, based on my conversations with my readers they are overworked and could use a break from it all.  So, I was thrilled that Emily Escalante decided to give one of my readers the opportunity to win a free massage.  Also, I LOVE "East End Eden" and thought that it was super cool that I could run such a great promotion.

The winner is: Kristie Bowman!!!

Thanks to everyone who entered the contest, including fellow mommy blogger, Rachel Blaufeld. With the help of Andre, I selected a winner. Kristie Bowman wrote a compelling piece about her husband who makes breakfast, helps with the kids and nursed her back to health after she had cancer a double mastectomy. Kristie and her family have endured so much and it sounds like her husband has been their rock. Based on what she has been through Kristie could have entered on her own behalf. However, she nominated her husband because of what he has meant to her and her family. Her husband, Jimmy, sounds like a great man and one who is deserving to win.

Let's all celebrate Jimmy and pray for Kristie's continued recovery.
