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 Working Mom: Being Interviewed for Working Motherhood

on
“Failure isn’t fatal and success isn’t final.”

One of the coolest experiences of my maternity leave was being interviewed by Dr. Portia Jackson for a podcast on Working Motherhood.  I valued the experience because it gave me the opportunity to reflect on some of the things that I have learned as a working mom.  During our conversation, I surprised myself.  I realized that becoming a mother has enhanced my life as a whole, but also my career because it has made me more focused. 

I also realized that effectively balancing the demands of being a working mom has been a series of accomplishments and mistakes.  I am happy to say that I have learned from my mistakes, applied what I have learned and have committed to living by best life.  Participating in this interview gave me an opportunity to share what I have learned and hopefully inspire other working moms.  

The best part of the experience was speaking with Portia, a most delightful host.  Here’s a link to the podcast. 

ENJOY!!!
