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!

Attend "The Mom Con" on Thursday, May 23rd


I mostly write about issues that are relevant to working moms. However, the truth is, all mothers face unique challenges whether they work in the home or out.  Our predecessors had more clearly defined roles. Today we are expected to raise perfect children, keep a perfect house, make gourmet meals and look like a supermodel! 
 

Plan to attend The Mom Con

Every mother know that motherhood can be all consuming.  It can be overwhelming to accomplish all of your own goals and trying to satisfy other people's expectations can be even tougher.
 
That's why moms need help.
 
Some very smart women created "The Mom Con", a conference series designed to inspire and empower moms to pursue their passions while raising their kids. I am one of the speakers for the Pittsburgh conference and I am thrilled! Nothing makes me happier than helping moms create a life that works for them.

Plan to attend. You’ll get fresh ideas, an opportunity to connect with other local moms, and a day away from the juggling act.  Instead you can focus on you and gain tips  to transform you into the best resources you can be for your family – and yourself.

Register for the conference through this link: http://themomcon.com/ (Save $10 if you register before April 30th!)
