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!

Twitter Tuesday!

On this dreary Tuesday knowing that there are other mothers our there sharing my struggling makes my day a little brighter.

Some of the women listed below bring levity to the Twittersphere and make me laugh. Some of the women below help to ground me when I am spiraling out of control because their world seems a little crazier than mine. And some of them make me feel like a complete slacker, even though I work, care for my toddler, my man and blog because they seem to do all that and more. In the interest of my sanity I seek balance. So, I have also listed some who make feel like a mommy rock star because they can’t cook, don’t manage to clean their house and don’t work! They even seem to look great doing it and manage to relax at the end of the day with a good glass of red wine. I realize that I may not be able do everything, but I think that I can really excel at the red wine part.

CHEERS!!!
