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: The Beauty of Flower #PGHGoesRed

on
Nothing beats Free Flowers




Last Friday I was honored to attend the Pittsburgh Go Red for Women Luncheon. It is a great event for a great cause. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. It kills nearly half a million women each year at the rate of about one per minute.  For that reason, fundraisers like the Go Red for Women Luncheon matter.  

Because of the nature of my work, I am pulled into a lot of matters unexpectedly. One of those matters pulled me out of the Go Red for Women Luncheon. I missed the majority of the event,
including the keynote speaker, Muriel Hemingway. Indeed, I was not done with my call until they had cleared the tables. I was disappointed because I had planned on attending and because I missed the awesome looking dessert, which was angel food cake topped with chocolate sauce and berries. It was a treat I would have enjoyed!

Before I could feel sorry for myself, someone offered me a couple of the centerpieces. The flowers in the above photo were in there. Just like that, I felt better!
