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!

Diane Mizota and Chaton Turner chat at the BlogHer'12 Conference (#BlogHer)

I finally figured out how to get the interview I made with Diane Mizota, VP of Pop Culture at "Pop Chips" at the BlogHer'12 conference off of my iPad and onto YouTube . I am rather embarassed that it took me a month to figure out how to do it, I decided to do what I planned and post it.
Have patience with me. I did the interview in a restaurant at the New York Hilton so there's a lot of background noise.  For my next interview I'll be more sensitive to that. Still, even with the background noise I think that it's a good interview.

Diane is a delight.  I really hope to collaborate with her in the future. (Diane, can you hear me?!) I met her through Rachel Blaufeld from "Backngroovemom" who has is a major "connector" ala Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point. She seems to know everyone and has been kind enough to to introduce me people in her network. Thanks Rachel!
Enjoy the video!
