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!

How I Finally Got to Attend the 2012 Democratic National Convention (almost)

on
As mentioned in my previous post, I wish that I was in Charlotte, NC attending the Democratic National Convention. I have watched the convention every day from the comfort of my home. I even started watching it on C-Span so I didn't have my viewing time interrupted by commercials!
 
I enjoyed the speeches, the commentary, and supported the festivities by toasting the speakers on my couch with a glass of red wine.  I laughed. I cried. I cheered! But still, I had been wishing that I could be there.

Well, thanks to my dear friend, Amanda, "Chaton Turner" was was able to attend the convention on the final day for President Obama's speech.

Check out these photos:

My friend Amanda who is a super delegate was kind enough to get me a front row seat!



She also made sure that I took an historic shot to prove that I was there!



I was also able to enjoy the excitement and appreciate the crowds "first hand"!


Amanda recently started tweeting under the handle, @finehawklady (http://twitter.com/finehawklady) and I got to tweet with her during the convention too. Having a friend like a Amanda was the next best thing to being there.  Follow her on Twitter to get more information during the remainder of the election season!
