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!

What Ordinary Women Can Learn From Kris Jenner and Bethenny Frankel

As I mentioned, I have recently read books by Kris Jenner and Bethenny Frankel, two women who have impressed me with their success. Reading about them has renewed my desire to create an even better life for me and my family. I want our family to have a life where our work is our joy and not our burden. Even though we have a comfortable living, Andre and I have to work to provide for our family.

We want to leave our daughter with a strong legacy and give her the support to live her dreams. These are two women who have helped renew my interest in accomplishing my own goals.


Neither Bethenny nor Kris are my role models. However, I am fascinated by Kris Jenner and Bethenny, especially Kris.

Criticize Kris if you like. You may even have just cause. However, you cannot deny that she is one woman who identified a goal and exceeded it. She has also created financial security for her family. Even if I don’t agree with all of her methods, I admire her chutzpah and both of those achievements. (She and I share the same birthday and I think that’s pretty cool too!)

Number One Lesson from Kris Jenner and Bethenny Frankel-Go For It!

Although I am not way into astrology, I do own several books on the subject.  I have come to believe that the seasons illustrate that certain things occur at the same time each year. And I think that it makes sense that people born at the same time of year might have similar behavior trait. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m a little crazy like both of them appear to be and I have never met a stranger that I haven’t liked. Also, like each of them, I have a storied romantic life. However, that’s a topic for another post. (You might also get a clue by reading some older posts on this blog!)

After reading both books I was struck by the success of both women. They are driven to be sure, but they aren't rocket scientists. Sure they are attractive, but they are not "model beautiful".  Sure they were well connected before they catapulted to success, but they both maximized those connections in a way that is unparalleled. At the end of the day, they just appear to be women who had the guts to go after their dreams and who refused to take no for an answer.

You don't have to like Kris or Bethenny to learn from them. I know that I have dreams for my life that I haven't had the courage to pursue. Perhaps you do too. Let's commit to working to achieve those dreams.  You will definitely read about my progress towards my dreams on future blog posts.

Happy Friday!
