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!

4th of July Observation...

The 4th of July is minutes away. We all have our traditions for celebrating the holiday. Many host or attend barbecues or cookouts. Others have family reunions of sorts. And still others spend their time on their boats or in their RVs. It appears that the media celebrates the holiday by airing and re-airing the movie "Independence Day".

I love Will Smith. Seriously, he could butter my toast any time.  And, "Independence Day" is a good flick. It's got great flight scenes, action, and aliens--the makings of a successful film since George Lucas introduced the world to Star Wars some thirty years ago. Still, hasn't the movie industry made a good 4th of July film since 1996???

So, glad the Comcast guy tricked me into buying the new and expanded cable package. In addition to seeing "Independence Day" as often as I like, I can also watch the Home Shopping Network, and its many spin offs, in English and Spanish. So many channels. So few things that I actually want to watch!
