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!

This week Serena Williams lost at Wimbledon, but that is not the story. The story is that Serena Williams competed at Wimbledon less than ten months after giving birth to her daughter and about eight months after having significant pregnancy related complications. By competing, she gave hope to working moms every where. She made us expand our thoughts about life's possibilities and about what it means to be a mom simply by competing. 


And, then, when she lost, she let us know that she was fighting for us. She demonstrated such grace and humility when she said, "I was really happy to get this far. For all the moms out there, I was playing for you today." Serena, we saw you. We cheered for you. And, we thank you. Thank you for playing for us and for re-defining what it means to be a working mom!
