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!

Valentine's Things (a joke)!

(Below is a poem that I wrote a few years ago.  Even though I had a fab Valentine's Day this year, I thought I'd share!)


Chocolate candy exchanged

And cards everywhere

Magazine ads

Saying love's in the air

Deliverymen scrambling to make their deadlines

This is a day that many despise…

Men feeling pressure to make the big play

Women keeping score on this special day

Everyone tense to make sure they do right

Many a couple will get in a fight…

Expressions of love on all of the channels

Easygoing women turning most anal

Singles believing that they are now alone

Walking single file through the love zone…

The winter transforms into a sea of red

Some give gifts to get (her) into bed

Many wishing real hard for tomorrow to come

Returning life back to normal for everyone…

When the door knocks

When the phone rings

When we’re feeling sad

We simply remember these Valentines Things and then we feel really bad!

good evening fellas. I'm actually into shoes and I had been searching for that singular brand. The prices seeking the sneakers were around 250 dollars on every site. But definitively I set this site selling them as a remedy for half price. I in reality love those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will absolutely purchase these. what can you say about it?
