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!

Celebrating a Sunny Day in Pittsburgh

on
A sunny day in Pittsburgh


As a working mom, my journey is full of twists and turns, and sometimes tears--generally out of frustration.
There are tears because I stubbed my toe trying to get out the door while carrying a baby and wrangling a toddler.  There are tears because my husband is away and I am alone for an entire weekend just want to use the bathroom without an audience.  There are tears because the worker at my daycare tells me that my baby cries every day at 5:00 PM because, "he's been here a really long time." There are tears when I confront heavy traffic. Hmm ... That sounds like a lot of tears.  Perhaps, it might also be hormones...



Then, there are days like today where I experience a perfect moment. The sun is shining in Pittsburgh, my kids are happy and I am smiling!
