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!

Thursday is Almost a Working Mom Holiday!

on
I  am always thankful when it is Thursday. Everybody at work seems a little more upbeat. Once we get past hump day, everybody gets focused on the weekend. We seem to get more efficient. And we're in a better mood. This week though, Thursday is even more special.

It has been a beautiful week in Pittsburgh. Who needs a Florida Spring break when you have seventy degree days in your hometown?!

Yesterday my day was filled with working, writing and spending time with those I love. Andre and I compromised. We took a long walk and went for a run.  One would think that I'm back to my old running conditioning with all of the running I've been doing lately.  The truth is, it's just been too hard to resist Andre and the call of the weather. 

In the interest of full disclosure though, I would have been content to have just walked yesterday.  However, like I said, he has a need for speed.  And when your man beckons you to join him for a run with the baby, you kind of have to say yes.

Anyway, here I go, off to work for another productive day.  Here's hoping!
