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!

Friday Tip: Enjoy a Cheap Date Night in the City of Pittsburgh

Our daughter at PPG Place

I don’t think anybody appreciates a warm night more than Pittsburgh residents. Indeed, what we gain by having three rivers we give up by having lots of cloudy days and cold winters. However, in the Spring and Summer, the City comes alive! One cool thing to check out is the Saturday Night Market at Market Square.


Everybody wants to get lucky on date night, and getting a discount may the luckiest thing of all! (If you had something else in mind, get your mind out of the gutter!)
