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!

The Race Is Won By Those Who Endure...



The human journey is universal, which tends to mean that we all learn the same lessons. I was reading an article about Paul Pierce on ESPN.com that discussed his thoughts about winning the NBA Championship. I found it ironic when I read a comment that he made that reflected the sentiments I made in yesterday's entry. He said, "Life has so many hurdles. Some of them I've hopped over, and some of them I've tripped over. The key is to get back up and finish the race."

My sister and I hung out with Paul in Miami some years ago. He was really cool. While we never stayed in touch with him, I've rooted for the Celtics ever since. I am pleased with their victory. And although his accomplishment outshines anything that I've done to date, I respect the sentiments he expressed in the article.

So, a little lesson from Logic class. I believe that life is about how you overcome obstacles and Paul Pierce believes that life is about how you overcome obstacles. Therefore, I am Paul Pierce. Well, that doesn't really work does it, but you get what I mean.

GO CELTICS!!!
