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!

Friday Tip: Another Free Event in Pittsburgh (Three Rivers Arts Festival)

on


The Three Rivers Arts Festival has been going on for some time and this is the last weekend. According to a sign I saw, it's the largest free festival of its kind in the nation. Gotta love it when Pittsburgh comes in first for something other than football and eating more French Fries on salads than anyone else!

I usually enjoy the festival, but I have been forgetting to attend this year. This evening though, the toddler and I attended the festival as part of our nightly walk. Indeed, downtown was hopping tonight. There was the festival, the Pittsburgh Pirates were playing, and there were musicians playing on the sidewalk. We loved all of the excitement, especially the toddler who was smiling and dancing in her stroller. 

We had dinner at the festival too, an egg roll and chicken on a stick.  Yes, even though I have been committed to giving my toddler fresh, organic, food today we ate street meat. It was oh so good.  Don't judge me!

Besides, it's been reported that the health inspectors checked the food at the festival and we said grace so I am sure that we'll be fine!
