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!

Friday Tip: Pittsburgh Free Event (Carnegie Library: Sunday, June 10, 2012))

I love informing those in Pittsburgh about free family fun.  Below is information about another event.  Enjoy!!!

The Carnegie Library does it again!  This weekend there will be an EXTRAVAGANZA for children and those they choose to escort at the Carnegie Library (main branch). Imagination is the focus of the event. Since I have been a dreamer all of my life, I applaud anything that inspires imagination in children.
