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!

Life teaches you things...

on

Life teaches you things. It makes you more tolerant. It makes you more understanding. Those are wonderful platitudes. However, I am embarrassed to admit that the longer I live, the more I keep making the same mistakes.

My life has had ups and downs. Admittedly, some are self inflicted. However, some I think are just typical of the human experience. I have love and lost. I have succeeded and failed. I have been incredible and average.

Currently, I am in the middle of man trouble and friend trouble. It seems like this has been the case my entire life. There always seems to be some drama in my life. I long for the day that I gain wisdom about how to fix it with less difficulty.

I used to wish for the drama to simply go away. I thought that life would be easier without it. However, I came to realize that life would be much less interesting without the stories that are created by the drama. The stories become the fabric of our lives.

Upon reflection, life has taught me more than I thought. I have learned that joy follows drama as sure as the light follows day. In a word, this too shall pass.
