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!

Happy Thanksgiving!

on

On this eve of Thanksgiving I am in a no man's land. I am too ill to attend the singles party. And I don't have the requisite "tools" to participate in the married with children family games.

This "free time" has given me time to reflect. I am so grateful that I made reasonably good choices during my college years. It has made my life easier. My mistakes have not been fatal. At this point in my life that is a tremendous blessing.

I Have a Lot to Be Thankful For 


While I wasn't a Rhodes scholar, I did well enough in undergraduate school to gain admission to a law school, which give me a way to make a living. While my love life has been adventurous, I remain resolute in my belief that happy endings exist and long lasting romantic love will be a consistent component of my life. While my family has an unorthodox composition, I realize that it is the quality of our familial connections, and not how they are made, that defines the word "family".

My Life is a Blessing


On this eve of Thanksgiving, I must admit that my life is a good one. I have enjoyed more than my share of happiness, which has muted the impact of any sadness. I rejoice in my achievements and in my relationships. And I am truly thankful.

One of the things for which I am thankful is this blog. Creating the blog has forced me to reflect and to memorialize my thoughts. With each entry I understand more about myself. So, thank you to all of you who read this blog. By reading it, you have given me a tremendous gift.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
