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!

I am a Mother...

Mom at Virginia Beach

Being a mother has been my greatest honor, biggest privilege, and hardest job. I am humbled to be in a club that includes great women like my own mother, grandmother and ancestors. I am their daughter and I am here, humbly trying to make them proud.

                                                                      I am a Mother...

I am a milk machine who nourishes

A scheduler who flourishes

A counselor who listens

Who strives to make them glisten

 

I am a cook who makes tasty meals

An empath with all of the feels

A teacher who helps them do their best

Who strives to help them pass the test

 

I am a dreamer who sees what my kids can be

A light who helps them see

A warrior who fights to keep them safe

Who strives to show them the way

 

I am a hugger who embraces

A kisser who covers their little faces

A disciplinarian who gives them what they need

Who strives to help them succeed

 

Simply put, I am a mother who loves

A humble woman who gets strength from above

A indefatigable worker who cooks and cleans

A grateful heart who appreciate what all this means
