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!

Comments about Yesterday's Photos...

on
Some folks have commented about the fashion from yesterday's photos.

On, "Night Talk", I wore a dress by Diane Von Furstenberg and a necklace by J. Crew. I also wore a pair of garnet patent leather shoes by Ralph Lauren. I scored the dress at the recent "going out of business sale" at the old Saks Fifth Avenue store in Pittsburgh. I was sad to see the store close, but I did have some very productive trips there during the sale. The necklace is actually three separate necklaces that I found at J. Crew. A colleague has a black necklace that i love that she got in Italy. When I saw the single red strands at J. Crew I decided to see whether I could achieve a similar look. I got close and saved the airfare to Italy!

The toddler wore Missoni for Target to the Children's Festival. I was fortunate enough to score a few pieces on a trip to Morgantown, West Virginia last year on a business trip. I had no hope of scoring anything in Pittsburgh or online. If you followed that sale you know that Target sold out of that stuff in about 15 minutes. Apparently, Morgantown, West Virginia has fewer fashionistas. Lucky for me! The icing on the cake about the toddler's outfit is that her daddy picked out her outfit. It's cute how he makes sure that she looks good. Sometimes we disagree about what "looking good" is, but generally he hits the mark.

Now, I have to figure out what to wear to work. I have a luncheon and an important meeting today. I actually have to look like a lawyer.

Wish me luck!
