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!

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Why I Love Saturday Morning

True confessions, I have not been faithful to getting up at 5:30AM. Doing that was a really tough grind, especially since I usually go to bed at 11 or 12. Still, I think that my thoughts about rising early have influenced my sleeping patterns. I usually get up at 6:30AM without prompting, which is much better than I used to do before I attended Spark and Hustle last year and met all of those women who get up at 4:30 AM.
 
I admire those women. I am in awe of those women. And I am more than a little intimidated by those women...
 
My early rising carries over to the weekend. And has led to Saturday mornings being my favorite time of the week.  I prepared a video to tell you all about it. Check it out! (By the way, don't judge my appearance too harshly. I made the video right after a run!)
