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!

Wordless Wednesday: Celebrating the Holidays at the Pittsburgh Children's Museum #PghKids

As I have mentioned before, one of our favorite things to do as a family is to visit the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. The kids enjoy it because it's a virtual child wonderland--full of toys and activities designed to stimulate and inspire children of various ages. Parents like it because it is manageable. It's large enough to have a variety of activities. However, it is small enough that there's little danger of actually losing a child. It's  a lot of fun too!

Recently, we were fortunate enough to get invited to the Museum for a holiday party. The party started at 8:00 AM, which proved hard for us to make. However, we made it there before the photographer left. That gave us the opportunity to enjoy the exhibits and get some great photos. (Mommy Score!!!)

Hope you enjoy the photos as much I have!!!
