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: International Kissing Day

I have another Friday tip. It's International Kissing Day! Can you believe it?!  There's a holiday that is even better than one encouraging you to eat your weight in fried chicken??? 

If you couldn't get behind National Fried Chicken Day because it occurs during bikini season, you should be able to embrace this one.  After all, there are some aerobic benefits to kissing.  According to  Livestrong.com a person weighing 120 pounds burns an average of 14 calories for every 15 minutes kissing.

Here's the coolest thing, the more you weigh, the more calories you burn. Besides, kissing makes you feel sexy, which can lead to another activity that is an even better calorie burner...  How you choose to celebrate this holiday is your choice though.  In my case I am about to leave work and find Andre.  I've got some calories to burn! 

Happy Friday!!!
