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!

Happy Summer!!!

Dog Days of Summer have begun


Most working moms are exhausted this time of year. The kids are over school. The uniforms have holes in them and the book bags are held together with duct tape. And then, just like that, Memorial Day comes to help us cope with what we have to do. It gives us a reprieve to prepare for the summer--a less structured life filled with longer nights and more fun.  

This time of year is also a time of reflection. It is the embodiment of success. We successfully completed another school year. For us that means we completed cross country season, times 2 (both boys), basketball season, times 2 (both boys), and soccer season, times 2 (both boys). We also completed ballet, our first year doing it in the pre-professional division. 

We had a great Memorial Day where we celebrated the initiation of summer, even though it wasn't warm enough to swim. Still, the long weekend was to be celebrated. And, as we greet summer, we hope to be bolstered by all of the freedom and energy in the above photo!
