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!

Even Though it is Fall, You can Still Enjoy Pittsburgh Parks

Me and my kids

“In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

During the pandemic, I did quite a few projects with the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy to inform people that even in the face of the pandemic fears, the parks remained a safe place to convene. I participated in this collaboration because visiting the parks helped our family cope during a very difficult time. Indeed, for awhile, it was the only place that we could go to entertain ourselves. 

I was honored that they interviewed me and the kids during the pandemic. And, I showed up with pandemic hair and all!

Still, even though the pandemic is over, we still enjoy Pittsburgh Parks and so can you. Indeed, with the price of food, real estate, and essential goods, families need ways to have fun without breaking the bank. And,  spending time at the parks is a great way to enjoy family fun during these inflationary times. (You can also let your kids run around, tire them out, and have an enjoyable evening after putting them to bed!)

See below from a press release from the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. I recommend that you make a trip to one this weekend. You won't regret it!
