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!

Today was a great day. It was the last day that I could get my car inspected. Fortunately, I was able to do that. YEAH!!! My success did come at a price though. I had to endure the ridicule of the mechanic who chastised me for waiting until the last minute. I wanted to ask whether he thought that he was my father, but I suppressed the urge. It seemed prudent to just endure the ridicule and get what I needed. I also had to endure the Pittsburgh Bus as a mode of transportation to work. Despite those inconveniences, my reward is that I can I now drive down the street without fear of being caught with an expired inspection sticker.

Also, I received a tremendous surprise today. My birthday is on Monday, November 5th. And it looks like I am going to Vegas this weekend to celebrate! I've never been there before so I am incredibly excited. The trip is going to be a present from my boyfriend who continues to demonstrate that long distance does not mean hopeless.

So, as I drift off to sleep tonight, I shall smile. Today was a resounding success! (What can I say, I'm easy to please.)
