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!

Political Scandal: Kwame Kilpatrick should resign...

on


I have been completely consumed with the hot mess called Detroit politics. It has all of the elements of a good soap opera--sex, lies, and text messages.

On March 24, 2008, Kwame Kilpatrick, Mayor of Detroit, was charged with perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office, charges in which he faces time in prison if convicted. Conviction of these crimes would also cause him to lose his mayoral position. However, shouldn't Kilpatrick simply resign anyway?

In addition to his legal troubles, Kilpatrick’s tenure has been marked by various scandals and plagued by suspicions of ethical misconduct. To summarize, throughout his administration Kilpatrick has been accused of lying, cheating, and stealing. And some of those allegations have proven true.

Viewed individually, you may have various opinions about the allegations. Viewed collectively, you will find them incredibly embarrassing for Kilpatrick and his beloved city. And even if you don't think that Kilpatrick should go to jail, you'll conclude that he has incredibly bad judgment.

That’s why I think Kilpatrick should resign. At the end of the day, a mayor is supposed to make his/her city proud. And Kilpatrick hasn’t done that for quite some time.
