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!

What I Like For Breakfast

on
Eggs over easy
A typical Saturday breakfast


Every once and a while I'm asked personal questions from readers. One is, "what do you like for breakfast?" I'm not exactly sure why people ask that question. However, it may be that breakfast is the great equalizer.
There are all of these variables that come up with lunch and dinner like time, menu and expense. However, breakfast is something that most people like simple and quick. It's not called "break fast" for nothing. In the morning we are HUNGRY so it is all about getting something we like in our bellies so that we can start our days.

Eggs Over Easy Make Me Happy


My breakfast choices have evolved over the years. I used to be a cereal kind of gal. However, I found that I was hungrier sooner than I'd like after eating cereal. I don't remember where my current breakfast choice originated. However, my favorite breakfast at the moment is "Two eggs over easy, turkey sausage or turkey bacon and toast". Most weekdays, I have only one egg and no meat. However, on the weekends or on vacation, when I have time to enjoy it, I'll have what's pictured below. I might even throw in some coffee on vacation.

Eggs over easy

For some unknown reason, I find myself drawn to coffee when I'm at a diner. At home, I drink tea. (One bag of Earl Grey and One bag of Green Tea to be exact). Sometimes I add some red onions and avocado. Sometimes the toast has butter and honey. Other times it just has butter. Occasionally, the toast has butter and jam. The one constant though are the eggs. Whether one or two they have to be over easy. If they are too hard I don't want them.  They must have salt and pepper and there must be toast.

The top photo shows a weekend breakfast when I try to change it up! It's got a crab scramble and avocado. I also tried to style the photo because I am a blogger! ;-)

Breakfast is so personal though. What's your favorite?!
