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 other day my friend Emily and I went for a walk and decided to take a short cut through the Rivers casino. As we walked through the casino our walk was interrupted.

A security guard refused to let us through without proper identification. Emily believed that we were being stopped simply because we couldn’t prove our identities. However, when she asked the security guard he said that we couldn’t let us enter because we couldn’t prove that we were twenty-one.

We were both shocked. Emily is younger than I am. However, she hasn’t seen twenty-one in a long time either.

It’s funny, I spent so long waiting to reach twenty-one. I tried to look older, act older, and tried to appear more sophisticated. Who knew that one day, being mistaken for a younger age would make my day???

NOTE TO SELF: Wear that outfit every day…
