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!

Let's Make it Happen This Monday Morning!

Sunday was a great day. It was sunny and bright in Pittsburgh. Andre had the great idea to capitalize on the great day by hosting a cook out for our family and friends.

After realizing that nobody was there to babysit her or kidnap her the baby warmed up to the guests and settled in next to Andre's brother's girlfriend who ingratiated her with chips.  For you concerned moms out there, my baby eats a well balanced diet. However, on occasion, I allow her to eat a few chips broken into bite sized pieces.  She loved the company and the chips!

Now I am off to work with high hopes for the day.

Wish me luck!
