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
Tonight President Obama delivered the State of the Union.  Regardless of your political affiliation you have to be proud that we live in a country where the president can address both houses and express his vision of America.  And, if you are proud to live in America you should be proud that we all have an opportunity to listen to him safely.  It may be a stretch, but listening to the State of the Union made me proud that the Constitution protects my first amendment right to Tweet.  I am not sure if that’s what the founding fathers had in mind, but I’m not one to let a privilege go to waste.

Below is a list of women who are exercising their free speech rights on Twitter as well.  Where else but America could Jennifer Marshall proudly call herself @nuckingfutsmama?  I love her wit and her humor. I wish that I had thought of that name! I have found other women who are committed to helping us become more organized, live happier and healthier lives, and achieve balance. Another mom admits that her children actually rule the roost.  Ain’t that the truth!

Finally, I would like to recognize @SJM_CookiesMom who helped me finally cross the 800 Twitter follower mark.  She is a wonderful an example of moms helping moms!

Great points! Who knew 200 some years ago that the country's future would include things like the Internet, Twitter, blogs, Pinterest.... I can't even imagine it without our First Amendment rights.

On a sidenote, my friend recently moved to DC and she said all of the preparation yesterday before the State of the Union Address was incredibly exciting!
