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!

Wednesday Wisdom-Cherish every moment

on
Hanging out at Myrtle Beach
“Cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey.” ― Jack Layton 
A friend sent me a link to day to send me a video message on my phone. Because I have like 7,000 photos saved, not including the videos and applications that I have on it, I was unable to install this new app and was unable to see or hear her video message. Well, I want to be a good friend and want the message. So, I have been looking through my phone to identify things that I can delete and/or transfer. During my project, I found this photo from our trip to Myrtle Beach last month.

Since it was overcast skies, cold and rainy in Pittsburgh, seeing this photo of a sunny day at the beach was a nice treat!

It made me smile and helped me get over the hump called Wednesday. I remembered the sweet vacation memories. I remembered running along the beach, jumping the waves, breakfast by the ocean and sandcastles... I remembered ice cream for dinner, seafood for lunch, and abundant fresh fruit. I remembered not having to make my own bed for nearly a week. I remembered paradise! The smile you see above captures all of that. I decided to share it with you in case you also needed something to boost your spirits.

Happy Wednesday!!!
