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!

Wordless Wednesday: Help From My Mommy Village

on
Everyone knows it takes a village to raise a child. I've even given a shout out to my village on this blog previously. (Click here to read about it.) Indeed, one of the reason I am able to do it all a lot is because family, our caregiver and other moms help me out. Today, I missed an awards ceremony at my daughter's school because of miscommunication and a minor family crisis. However, because of the kindness of another mom, I did not miss out entirely. 


Below are some photos of our girl at the ceremony wearing her UVA outfit taken by my friend, Julie (compliments of my cousin Korine)--very fitting! :-) 

Julie, I owe you one!!!
