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!

Mommy Mondays: Family Photos From the Weekend!

on
Here is a peek into Chaton's World. I spent the weekend doing things I love to do. I got the opportunity to appear on television on PCNC "Night Talk" and I believe that I represented myself well. I am hopeful that it will lead to more opportunities.

I also had the opportunity to have some great family time. As I mentioned previously, on Saturday, we attended the Children's Festival in Pittsburgh and enjoyed ourselves. I am hopeful that it will lead to more opportunities... :-)

Of course the toddler had a tantrum, but that goes with the territory. Since we have a great kid, her tantrums are shortlived. So, the fun definitely outweighs the problems. Still, I know that a standoff is imminent.  I need to get my game up though. Right now, I think that she could take me!

Below are photos of the weekend. I hope that you enjoy them. I had a great time!

This is me, Rod Doss, Khari Mosley, and Ed Gainey after our appearance on PCNC "Night Talk" this past Friday night. It was a great show. Check it out on the "Best of Night Talk"!
