One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Make Family Events More Enjoyable With Friends

on
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!

It's still Twitter Tuesday!

on
In my quest for more Twitter moms I have "met"some fascinating gals and a dad that I had to include because he’s funny and cool.
I found moms of all shapes sizes and interests. I found moms who discovered  surprise pregnancies. I found moms committed to Christ and their families. I found moms committed to baking and loving. I found a mom who says that she is living in a “sea of testosterone” and she isn’t living in a frat house! I also found a ton of moms who are multi-tasking their asses off.  They sell #Silpada jewelry. They are wives, mothers, maids, bookkeepers, doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs in addition to being moms.  Well, I didn’t actually find an Indian chief, but I bet I could have if my work and mothering obligations hadn’t intervened!  
The most rewarding finding this week was finding a mom who describes herself as “rotten”. I loved that she claimed that label for herself since most days I like I am barely earning a passing grade as a mom myself. It’s nice to know that I have company. (the "super mom" image that accompanies this post is merely aspirational!)

Finally, I am so happy to have found @booyahdad, a man who is strong enough to proclaim that he loves his wife, loves his kids and loves social media!
Till next Tuesday, keep tweeting!
