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!

I plan to post a list of pregnancy and post-partum tips soon. However, I when I saw this coupon I decided that I had to share the news immediately, before it expires. I firmly believe that the keys to parenting success in the first three months are the two "S's"--the swaddle and the swing.

No exaggeration, I may have lost my mind during my first few months post-partum without this swing. I was blessed to receive it as a gift from two very thoughtful girl friends. They knew what I didn't, even in the early days of life children require entertainment. It must be all that time in their mothers stomachs where they get constant movement.

I don't claim to be a parenting expert, but I am a witness. This swing helped me maintain my sanity, helped my baby relax, and stopped me from wringing Andre's neck (out of frustration) when he walked through the door from work. Thanks to this swing we had a relatively orderly and peaceful household very early after our baby was born. As any new parent knows, that is like hitting the lottery!

Oh, the swing saved my sanity after my babies were born. I still keep it on hand for when I have to babysit. My husband keeps telling me I need to get rid of it since we won't be having more babies, but no way will I part with it. As long as I know I am going to have little ones in my home (nieces, nephews, and friends babies) it's staying!
