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!

Wordless Wednesday: Time With My Favorite Girl

I love spending time with my daughter. Now that she's 6, she's become quite the lady. She's fun to be around. She's engaging, funny--a real conversationalist. She reminds me a lot of myself, which is both amazing and scary! One "grown up" thing we did in 2016 was to attend a political event. I am so fortunate that our time together was captured by the talented Emmai Alaquiva. I would have been happy just to hang out with my girl. However, having our photo taken by an Emmy winning photographer was icing on the cake--times two! I LOVE this shot! Below are others he took from that day.

ENJOY!!!
