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!

Holiday Traditions: Cookies

on
I’m not Martha Stewart, but I do try to make the holidays special for those I love.  I bake cookies, lots of them. I usually bake about twenty dozen cookies and mail them to family and friends all over the country.   At least that is what I did before the baby.
Last year I never managed to bake cookies. This year I baked some cookies and intended to mail them to family and friends.  However, those intentions were not realized. 
Time got away from me.  I never made it to the post office in time to share my cookies with anyone outside of Pittsburgh. Oh well, that left more cookies for us here!
I shared the cookies with my colleagues and those who attended my parents' Christmas Eve party.  They seemed to really like them. I think that my cookie baking project can still be considered a success.
What do you think???
