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!

A Holiday Gift: The Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection

on

There are certain fashion events that get me excited—New York’s Fashion Week, any visit to Century 21 and the collaboration between Target and Neiman Marcus. When I heard that Target and Neiman Marcus were collaborating I almost lost my mind.

One of the hallmarks of unique American style is to mix high end with low end. I love seeing women with diamond earrings a diamond encrusted watch, a fur vest and their favorite jeans. It’s so very rock star! I sometimes rock a similar look except I’m missing the dripping in diamonds part… J
 

The Target + Neiman Marcus Collection = Pure Genius

That’s why I thought that the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection was pure genius. Neiman Marcus is the epitome of luxurious style and Target is the epitome of practical style. I love the Neiman Marcus Christmas book. However, I have never been able to fit the Aston Martin, diamond covered bra, or the bejeweled baubles into my budget.  For that reason, I was thrilled to shop the Neiman Marcus collection for Target this morning.

I actually put the event on my calendar. When I woke up this morning I was on a mission! I wasn’t able to get as many things as I wanted from the Missoni for Target collection last year and didn’t want to miss my opportunity again. I was nervous that I would miss out because I woke up late. However, I got lucky!

I am so grateful to Target and Neiman Marcus for bringing a little more style into this season at an affordable price. I scored several things this time—items from Lela Rose, Tory Burch and Jason Wu.  These are some of the best designers in the country and they will be under our Christmas tree. I am also giving some items to some lucky people in my life as gifts. 

You should check out the sale soon. I am certain that the items will sell out.

Happy shopping!!!
