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!

See Santa Claus and Skip the Lines at the National Aviary!

As you know I am a fan of the National Aviary.  I love it even more because they are having Santa come every Saturday until December 22nd.  It's a great way for your child to sit on Santa's lap and for you to skip those horrid lines at the mall!

Details for Seeing Santa at the National Aviary

Kids can visit with the St. Nick each Saturday in December until December 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of their regular admission.  Children can relay their favorite holiday gift choices to Santa, along with one of the Aviary’s 16 African Penguins.
Bring your camera and capture a remembrance of this great holiday experience.

Come out to see Santa. You may just see me there with the toddler!
About the National Aviary

The National Aviary is a Pittsburgh treasure and is America’s only independent indoor nonprofit zoo dedicated exclusively to birds. It is located in West Park on Pittsburgh’s historic North Side and has a diverse collection of birds.  It is a great place to escape the cold and enjoy a tropical day with your children. It can also be a great place for a date!
