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 Life of a Working Mom: The Weekend (#TBT)

Members of The Girl Friends, Inc. Pittsburgh Chapter at Sonoma Grill
Last weekend was a combination of obligations and recreation...

Social clubs are a great way for working moms to remain connected.

Working moms cannot exist on work and family alone. Sometimes, we need to socialize. That socializing can occur impromptu or it can be organized. Since I have always been a bit of a joiner I tend to enjoy the structured fun that comes with a part of a club.  On Saturday, I chaired a meeting for a multi-generational social organization that I'm in. And even though being president is a lot of work, whenever girl friends get together we always have a good time. This past weekend, I co-hosted the meeting at Sonoma Grill .  Both the food and the services were great. I highly recommend hosting an event there.



The weekend is not complete without some quality family time!

On Sunday we got to have uninterrupted family time. And family time is always good! We went for a brief walk. 


It was a balmy 38 degrees and there was no snow. So, I took advantage of it! 

Also, like we often do, we visited the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. However, on Sunday we spent most of our time in the Make Shop figuring out how circuits work.

When I went to sleep on Sunday night I was pleased. Somehow, I managed to do everything I wanted to do that weekend, except fold the laundry. Since I have decided that folding the laundry is way overrated, I had no regrets about not doing that. 

Anybody else think that the weekends are too special to waste time folding laundry?
