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!

A Peek Into the Life of a Blogging Mom: Saturday

on
Like most working moms I cherish my weekends. This weekend is no different. Well, it is slightly different... Being the dutiful son that he is and a lover if home improvement projects, Andre has committed to redoing his parents front steps. Apparently, there will be crushing the original steps with a sledgehammer, pouring concrete, and creating new steps. I am certain it's more complicated than that, but as you can see, it's a lot of work!

So, what's a blogging mom to do?!

I have to identify activities for me and baby to occupy our time. I also have to figure out how to do the housework alone, unless I go on strike... Hmm... That does have some appeal.

While I contemplate pulling a Norma Ray, I'm going to take the baby to community day at the Carnegie Library in Oakland. I'm actually typing this piece on my iPad as I wait for her to wake up from her brief nap. Let's hope we enjoy our library visit. Guess what?! She's up now. So, we're going in. I'll keep you posted!
