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!

Friday Tip: Free Health Resources for Mothers

on


When I was pregnant I signed up for a free service called Text4baby.  By virtue of signing up I received tips to assist me at every stage of my pregnancy and childcare tips after I delivered. The messages helped to supplement the advice I was receiving from my doctors. Because they were from a trusted source, I relied on them. Also, they were very comforting to me as an anxious first-time mom.

I highly reccommend Text4baby. It is a great service and one of the few things in life that is free.  How cool is that?!

Below is more information about the product:
