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!

The Controversy Plaguing the Nation


This country is currently torn apart by controversy. There are opposing camps, and everybody is convinced that they are right and are very resistant to even listening to the other’s point of view. I am talking about
whether you’re the type who believes that pumpkin flavored treats are the hotness or are a hot mess. I fall in the second camp. And every year that I see Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and International Delights (to name a few) advertise their pumpkin flavored products, I am reminded that there really is no accounting for tastes.

I like my coffee like I like my men, strong and without additives. How do you like your coffee?
