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 Pittsburgh Mom: Presque Isle, the Hamptons of Western Pennsylvania...

on
As a working mom, I don't get to take as many vacations as I would like, even with my company's decent Paid Time Off policy. For that reason, we try to make our weekends special by enjoying our local treasures. 

For weekend trips, we have to rely on hotels since I don't own the beach house that I dream for, and I cannot jet away for the weekend to a place that has all of my clothes, is fully stocked with food and my favorite movies. As a transplant to Pittsburgh from North Carolina, I believed that I had to sacrifice going to the beach for the weekend.  That was before I discovered, Presque Isle in Erie. When Andre first told me about Presque, Isle, I thought it would be lame. However, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Presque Isle, the Hamptons of Western Pennsylvania




Presque Isle is the Hamptons of Western Pennsylvania.
It is a beach in Erie that is much better than one would ever suspect. It is beautiful and a fantastic place to play with the kids, cookout, and throw the football around. You can spend the day there and forget that you are in Pennsylvania! And if you stay at the Sheraton Bayfront, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the lake that really makes you feel like you took a true vacation. I encourage all Pittsburghers who love the beach to give Presque Isle a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
