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!

Hurricane Irma Made Me Count My Blessings

on

Life is a series of moments. The secret to success is maximizing the good ones and minimizing the bad ones. As working moms we know that we'll have days that are punctuated by tears, traffic, and trials. However, other days are full of family, fun and frolicking on the beach!

I'd love to say that I'm an expert on this type of living. However, I'm not. Sometimes, I fall short. I major in the minor, perseverate on the negative and lose my cool and my patience...





That said, I try to remember to live this way and I look for reminders in my experiences. Recently, we were vacationing at Myrtle Beach while the weathermen were forecasting the effects of Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean and Florida. During that time, I felt compassion for those affected. I also felt incredibly grateful to be sharing such enjoyable times with my family. 

I decided to share these thoughts with you in case you needed a reminder as well. Hope all is well in your world!

(Our prayers are with those who faced the affects of the recent Hurricanes in the Caribbean, Florida, and Houston.)
