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!

S'mores and Other Fall Traditions


It is October! It's hard to believe that summer is officially behind us and fall is here. One reason it's hard to believe is that it remains quite warm. It's so warm that I long to be poolside in Pittsburgh--daily. That said, the nights are cooler. They are just cool enough to begin firing up the fire pit to enjoy long talks, cuddles and sweet treats like s'mores. 

Enjoying S'mores Makes Everything Better

When I think about enjoying s'mores, it makes me smile! And, as you can see from the photo above, they have the same affect on my kid.

Indeed, 'mores are universally awesome! I don't know about you, but even in these gluten free, low fat, high protein times, I still enjoy a good s'more. I don't know if it's nostalgia, the communal aspect of it, or the fact that they taste so damn good. Whatever it is, I am officially declaring this, "S'mores Season"!

So, light a fire and celebrate!!!
