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 Peek Into the Life of a Mommy Blogger: I Might be on Anderson Live

Yesterday was an interesting day. Work was fairly typical. After work I responded to an email I received looking for families who might want to get parenting advice from the Supernanny.  I've always liked the show. So, I responded. I'm online so much that I forgot about it as soon as I responded.

Anderson Live is looking for Families


On my drive home I received a call from a producer from Anderson Live. Ironically, the only reason that I answered the call is because I thought it was a friend of mine calling to ask me to hang out when I go to DC for the Inauguration. I was surprised that it was a producer who wanted to interview me for a television show.
 
She asked me why I wanted to speak to the Supernanny. I explained the parenting conflicts that Andre and I sometimes have.  They all stem from a fundamental disagreement about the maturity level of a two year old. Generally, I think that she's only two and still a baby. He thinks that she's just a tiny person and that she is fully capable of understanding everything. 
 
I have to wait to hear from the producer to see whether I'm selected for the show. If I am, I'd like for the Supernanny to weigh in on my conflict with Andre. Also, if you give me questions, I'll try to get your questions answered too!
 
Wish me luck!
