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!

Working Mom Tip: Save at The Pittsburgh Children's Museum!!! (#PGHKIDS)

We have a membership to the Children's Museum and it more than pays for itself. Indeed, it is among the best money that I have ever spent.  In exchange for the cost of the membership my daughter has made countless memories and experienced a million smiles!
 

The Magic of the Children's Museum

 
The management plans carefully to implement programming that educates and engages children. My daughter goes there several days a week and LOVES it! Recently they created a Clifford, the Big Red Dog exhibit. Among other things the exhibit has Clifford himself, live and in color. Nothing makes a kid happier than a big red cartoon character live and in person. As you can see from my daughter's face below, she is smitten by Clifford (perhaps less so with the camera though... :-))
